1
Cut the mango, papaya and pineapple into cubes. Cut the cranberries a little smaller. Cream fat, vanilla sugar and sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer. Stir in the eggs one after the other. Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, coriander and cardamom and stir into the dough alternating with milk and rum.
2
Fold dried fruit into the dough, except for some decorating. Pour the dough into the greased, floured mould (2 litres capacity) and smooth it down. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for approx. 60 minutes. Take the cake out of the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Turn out of the tin and let it cool down on a cake rack. Sift icing sugar into a bowl. Add egg white and mix to a thick icing. Colour orange with food colouring. Add some lemon juice if the icing is too thick. Cover the cake with the icing and let it dry for about 45 minutes.
