Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch ring cake or bundt pan with butter.

Combine cake mix, eggs, and melted butter in a large bowl. Mix until just blended, ~1 minute.
Step 3
Fold in candied citrus, dried fruit, nuts, and orange liqueur until evenly distributed.
Step 4
Pour batter into prepared pan. Smooth the top and tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
Step 5
Bake 20–22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the cake (not a fruit piece) comes out clean.
Step 6
Cool in pan 5 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar once cooled.
