INSTRUCTIONS

A day or two before baking the cake, combine all the dried fruits and
nuts in a large bowl and toss well with the rum or Calvados and  cider.
Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a cool place for at  least 24
hours. Toss the mixture occasionally. On the baking day,  prepare pans.
Use one tube pan 10 x 4 inches or one 9 1/4-inch tube  pan (9 cup
capacity) plus 2 baby loaf pans, each 6 x 3 1/2 x 2  inches, or the
equivalent in capacity (cake consists of about 12 cups  batter.)
Lightly grease pan(s), cut paper liners to cover both bottom  and
sides, press paper in place, then grease paper. Position rack in
center of oven for 1 large cake, or divide oven in thirds for several
cakes. Preheat oven to 325 F (165 C). Sift both flours, the baking
powder, baking soda, salt, and spices together onto wax paper. Set
aside.  To make the cake batter, use a spoon and a mixing bowl or the
electric  mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until well
blended. Add  eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in
vanilla.  Add the flour mixture in 3 or 4 additions, beating very
slowly to  blend after each addition. The batter will be quite stiff.
Stir in  the grated apple and applesauce. Stir the macerated
fruit-nut-rum  mixture, then add it to the batter along with all the
liquid. Stir  the batter with a sturdy wooden spoon until well blended;
really the  best way to blend is with your bare hands.  4. Spoon the
batter into the prepared pan(s), filling them about 2/3  continued in
part 2
