Directions
Preheat the oven to 300? F.
Sift flour with cocoa, cinnamon, and allspice.
Mix in nuts and fruit. Set aside.
Combine honey and sugar in a large saucepan.
Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
Syrup should register 238? F. on a candy thermometer, or a bit dropped in cold water should form a soft ball.
Remove from heat.
Add flour mixture and blend well.
Pour into a well-greased 9-inch pie plate or a spring-form cake pan.
Smooth surface with a wet knife.
Bake in a preheated 300? F. oven for 30 minutes, or until firm.
Remove from oven, sprinkle top with confectioners' sugar, and cool on a cake rack.
When cake is cool, remove from pan and dust all sides with a thick coating of confectioners' sugar.
Cut into wedges to serve.
