2. 2 Combine raisins, currants, citrus peel, cherries, and orange zest in a bowl. Dredge with 1/3 cup flour.
3. 3 Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until light.
4. 4 Combine remaining 1 2/3 cups flour, ground almonds, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Fold into butter and egg mixture. Mix in fruit.
5. 5 Pour batter into the prepared pan.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove cake from pan.
7. 7 Turn the oven up to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Toast almonds in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
8. 8 Heat corn syrup and brush over the top surface of the hot cake. Place almonds in whatever design you like. After cooling, the cake will not be sticky.
