Whatcha Do:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan or Bundt pan.

- Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg; set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and continuing to mix. Alternately add the dry mixture and eggnog, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in fruit mixture and vanilla. Pour batter into prepared pan.
