Preheat the oven to 170°C/gas 3. Add the sultanas, raisins and peel to a bowl, cover with the boiling water and set aside.
Mix together the mashed banana, eggs and oil in a large bowl, and beat well.
Mix in the courgette, apple and carrot, then stir in the flour, baking powder and mixed spice. Next, add the dried fruit, plus soaking water.
Mix well and put into a 20cm cake tin lined with baking parchment, top with the cherries and almonds. Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 1½ hours. Remove the foil 15–20 minutes before the end of the cooking time, then bake for the remainder of the time.
Test with a skewer or knife, which should come out clean when cooked, and remove from the oven.
