Start by introducing the recipe for eggless fruit cake.

Prepare the mixed dried fruit by pureeing it to a semi-smooth consistency.

In a mixer, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again until well combined.

Add applesauce as an egg substitute to the butter and sugar mixture.

Add the pureed fruits and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix to combine.

In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, mixed spice, baking powder, and salt, whisking to combine.

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in small amounts, mixing lightly to avoid developing gluten.

Add Browning to the mixture last to achieve the desired color of the cake, mixing gently.

Grease a baking pan with butter and line it with butter paper or parchment paper.

Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and level it off, tapping it on the countertop to remove air pockets.

Preheat the oven to 225°F (about 107°C) with a water bath inside.

Bake the cake for about 1 hour and 40 minutes, checking for doneness.

Once baked, spritz the cake with rum and allow it to cool completely before removing from the pan.

Show the texture of the cake and cut a slice to demonstrate its consistency.
