  1. Preheat the oven to 400F/200C.
  2. Stir the butter and the sugar together. Add the eggs one by one. Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves), alternating with the milk and cognac, uniting the ingredients very gently. Add the candied fruits, raisins, and the nuts (being previously rolled in flour).
  3. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch (20cm) round cake mold, ideally a tall one, just like those used for Panettone, previously buttered and sprinkled with flour.
  4. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Check the center to verify if it's properly baked, before removing from the oven.
