Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 130 minutes

Instructions:

Put the dried fruit, zests and juice, rum, coconut oil and sugar into a large pan set over medium heat. Mix well, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes until the sugar has dissolved. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let it cool for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 150°C. Line a deep 20cm cake tin with a double layer of baking parchment and wrap a double layer of newspaper around the outside, securing it with string. Mix the chia seeds with 150ml water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes gel-like.
Add the remaining ingredients to the cooled fruit mixture, including the chia seed mix, and stir well to ensure there are no pockets of flour. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, level the top, and bake in the center of the oven for 2 hours.
Remove the cake from the oven, poke holes in it with a skewer, and spoon over 2 tablespoons of rum. Allow the cake to cool completely in the tin.
To store, remove the baking parchment and wrap the cake in cling film. Feed the cake with 1-2 tablespoons of alcohol every fortnight until icing. Do not feed the cake for the final week to allow the surface to dry before icing.
