Place the sultanas and brandy in a bowl, stir well and leave to marinate.
Mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon and set aside. Grease and base line a 25.5x 16cm (10x61/2in) oblong baking tin.
Sieve the flour, baking powder and mixed spice into a large bowl. Add the margarine, dark brown sugar and eggs and beat well with a wooden spoon or electric hand whisk until smooth.
Fold the nuts, mincemeat and marinated fruit into the mixture and spoon into the tin. Level the surface and sprinkle over the cinnamon sugar.
Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C, 375°F, gas mark 5 for about 20 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow to stand in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.
Transfer the cake to a board and cut into squares.
