Step by Step guide
Step 1
Sift the flour. Warm the milk, dissolve the yeast, regular sugar, and vanilla sugar in it. Make a mound with the flour, create a small well, and pour in the milk. Carefully knead the sponge and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Add salt to the sponge, beat in the eggs, add the butter, and knead the dough. Cover with a towel and place in a warm place for 25 minutes.
Step 3
Wash the raisins, pat them dry, wrap them in a napkin, soak in rum, and let them steep for 1 hour, then place in a sieve to drain the rum.
Step 4
Add the raisins, orange, and lemon candied fruits to the dough. Sprinkle with cinnamon, cloves, add lemon zest, and knead the dough again. Place in a warm place for 25 minutes.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 356°F. Fill a round cake pan with the dough and bake for 45 – 50 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from the oven, invert onto a rack, and let cool.
Step 7
Heat the jam in a water bath. Brush the cake with the jam.
