Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4. Line a baking tray with baking parchment and set aside.2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, mixed spice and butter and rub together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and the grated lemon and orange zests. Make a well in the centre, add the eggs and gradually incorporate them with the flour mixture to form a dough.
3. On a floured work surface, roll the dough out to a square about 30cm in diameter.
4. In a bowl, combine the apricots, mixed dried fruit, nuts and lemon curd and mix well. Spread this mixture over the dough, then roll it up like a swiss roll. Place the roll seam-side down on the tray you lined with baking paper.
5. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack. Combine the cinnamon and icing sugar and dust this mixture over the roll before slicing.
