Toss the dried fruit and brandy together until well mixed, then let stand for at least 1 hour preferably overnight. Cut a piece of foil and parchment large enough to cover a large ceramic basin.
Fold a 1-inch pleat in the center of the foil and parchment. Gather the ingredients for the cake batter. You'll need butter, brown sugar, molasses, eggs, flour, orange zest, mixed spice, cloves, nutmeg, baking powder, breadcrumbs, and chopped walnuts. Pour in the molasses, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Add a spoonful of flour with each egg to prevent the batter from curdling.
Dump in the chopped walnuts and the soaked fruit mixture along with any liquid, then mix until evenly combined. Cover with the parchment and foil, tying it tightly with string under the lip of the basin to secure.

Pour boiling water halfway up the side of the basin and return the pot to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook for hours.
The pudding is done when it is a rich, dark brown. A skewer inserted into the center should come out clean.
