Sift flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice onto wax paper. Beat butter, sugar, honey and eggs in a large bowl and beat on high with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour mixture over fruits and nuts. Add remaining flour mixture alternately with milk to the fluffy mixture, beating until smooth. Stir in nuts and fruits. Spoon into greased and floured 10-inch tube pan.
Bake in slow oven at 325\u00b0 for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Cool in pan on wire racks 20 minutes. Loosen around edges and middle with knife if needed.
Turn out on rack and cool completely. Wrap in foil or plastic. This cake slices better the next day.
