Mix the nuts, raisins, citronate, orange peel, cherries, dates and figs.
Mix the egg yolks with the sugar until foamy - add the rum, sugar, flour, baking powder and cinnamon, mix the dough with the nuts, raisins, citronate + orange peel, cherries, dates and figs. Finally, carefully fold the stiff egg whites into the mixture.
Grease the loaf pan, line with sandwich paper and grease again - up to 3/4 fill.
Bake at 200 degrees for about 1 hour. If the cake gets too dark, you might want to put sandwich paper on top.
After turning over, peel off the greaseproof paper, allow to cool and wrap in foil. Once a week - for 4-6 weeks - with 2 tablespoons. Pour the rum over so that it permeates well!
Wrapped in foil, the fruitcake will keep for up to 6 months.
