1. Start by soaking the fruit. Fill your kettle and pop it on to boil while you organise all the dried fruit into a large bowl. If you're using larger fruit like dates and apricots, roughly chop them up first (my quick tip: snip them with kitchen scissors - it will save you so much time!).

2. Preheat your oven to 150 C. Line a 20 cm cake tin (preferably spingform) with baking paper along the base and sides.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter (or coconut oil), vanilla and amaretto (or extra orange juice if you aren't using liqueur). Squeeze in the juice of the orange (doesn't matter if some pulp goes in).
