The night before making the cake place the flour in a 3 bowls (depending on your tiers) with the cinnamon and mace to let them mingle together for 8 hours, this will enhance the flavor of the mixture. You also need to weigh out the sultanas and raisins in 3 separate bowls (or however many tiers of cake you are making) and add the orange juice and brandy as advised in the recipe. This will make sure that the dried fruit soaks up the liquid and will be really juicy.
