Combine the vanilla pod, all the dried fruit, ginger, glacé cherries, mixed peel and 125ml rum in a large bowl. Cover and leave in a cool place for at least 2 hours, until the fruit has absorbed most of the liquid and the pineapple has plumped up. Remove the vanilla pod, scraping the seeds into the fruit.
Preheat the oven to 150°C, gas mark 2. Butter a round, 23cm cake tin and line with 2 layers of nonstick baking parchment (it should stand 2cm above the tin). Wrap the outside of the tin in 2 layers of parchment or parcel paper and secure with string.
Beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy and light. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Sift in the flour, baking powder, spices and citrus zests, then gently fold in.
Fold in 50g chopped Brazil nuts, the soaked fruit and any liquid. Spoon into the tin, scooping out a slight hollow in the middle to prevent the cake forming a domed centre. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and place the remaining 150g whole Brazil nuts on the surface. Cover with baking paper and bake for 2 hours more, until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the tin for 15 minutes. Pierce the top a few times with a fine skewer and sprinkle with the remaining 50ml rum. Turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks, occasionally sprinkling with a couple of tablespoons of rum. To serve, top with the Brazil nuts, glacé cherries and ginger, and the pineapple and mango, if using.
