In the meantime grind the cardamom seeds in a pestle and mortar and mix with the other spices and the sugar. Chop the raisins or sultanas roughly, finely chop the almonds. Stir the lemon zest into the fruit and almond mix in a small bowl. Set aside.

Mix with your hands or in a standing mixer with the dough hook attachment for about 2 minutes. Add half the butter and knead or mix for a couple of minutes before adding the rest of the butter. Knead or mix until all the butter is mixed in and the dough is beginning to look silky smooth, stops sticking to your hands or bounces off the sides of the standing mixer bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean sheet of cling film and set aside to rise for 30 minutes.
