1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Put together in a bowl all the sifted dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and molasses). Set aside.
3. In another bowl or mixer, mix the butter with the sugar, then add the eggs one by one. Then add the apple puree and the dry ingredients. Unite everything very well.
4. Finally, add to the mixture the raisins, candied fruit, nuts, flour, and almonds covered in flour.
5. Empty the entire mixture into a buttered and floured round cake mold (i.e. to add some flour to the mold, letting it stick to the butter, and then discard the excesses).
6. Bake for about 60 minutes. Of course, you should be checking whether the top is getting too toasted, in which case you may cover it with aluminum when it’s been 40 minutes in the oven already, so that the top doesn’t burn. Before removing from the oven, insert a skewer (or similar) all the way to the center, to check if this (i.e. the center) is properly cooked.

Note: You can also use a paper mold, that can be found in pastry-utensils shops. In the United States, these are usually referred as molds for Pannetone.
