Method
1. COMBINE the fruit and Grand Marnier, cover and stand overnight but up to 1 month.
2. CREAM together the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, beating well between each addition. Add the sifted flours and stir until combined. Stir through the fruit mixture, chocolate, rinds and juice. Spoon the mixture into a greased and lined 23cm square cake pan. (Ensure paper extends 5cm above the top of the pan.) Stud the top of the cake with almonds.
3. BAKE in a moderately slow oven 160°C for 1½ - 1¾ hours or until cooked when tested. Brush nuts with honey. Cool in pan on a wire rack before turning out. Store in baking papers, well wrapped in an airtight container until required.
TIP: Line the pan with 2 layers of paper, and make sure the paper stands 5cm above the top of the pan. Place a piece of foil on top of the paper during baking if the nuts are browning too quickly.
