Mom's favourite

Before Chinese New Year, my mom will pester me every year to bake fruitcake and nothing else, her favourite. Bake 2 fruit cakes today and deliver to her, couldn't wait to keep the next day or so, she cut out the cake immediately, I presume tomorrow will be all gone. Have this recipe from Her world magazine, very long time ago and I did some modifications. Have been doing the same recipe but each year, there's always something some changes in making the cake and she couldn't tell the difference, I think she like the sweetness of the dried fruits and the taste of brandy.
