Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/gas mark 3. Beat together the sugar, butter, honey, treacle, cinnamon and one of the eggs until creamy and smooth. Add the other egg, along with the brandy or tea, and beat well. The mixture will look dark and curdled, but for this fruit cake that's quite all right.
Sift in the flour and baking powder, beat well, then fold in the fruit and nuts until evenly combined. Spoon into the tin, smooth the top, and bake for about an hour and a half.

Method
Line the base and sides of a 20cm round cake tin with baking parchment. Weigh out the fruit first, because it's a bit of a pain to be scrambling around in the cupboard once you've mixed everything together. Substitute where you need to - for instance, if you hate figs but love dates, they'll do nicely; and if you like whole almonds, then pop in 100g of them, too.Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/gas mark 3. Beat together the sugar, butter, honey, treacle, cinnamon and one of the eggs until creamy and smooth. Add the other egg, along with the brandy or tea, and beat well. The mixture will look dark and curdled, but for this fruit cake that's quite all right.
