6Add soaked fruit, but not too much wine, and mix well.
7Add mixed peel and cherries lightly floured.
8Add essences and spices and mix well again.
9Stir in flour and when everything is mixed, there may be some of the wine from the soaked fruits.
10Add brown dye on cake as dark as you want to make.
11Pour into well greased and lined (with wax paper) cake tins and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees.
