Mix fruits and nuts: Chop fruit and nuts, then combine them in a large mixing bowl. Add the coconut and mix well with your hands.
Add dry ingredients: Stir in the flour until everything is evenly coated.
Combine with condensed milk: Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and blend well until the mixture is evenly coated and sticky.
Bake: Pack the mixture firmly into the prepared tube pan. Bake for 1½ hours.
Cool: Remove from the oven and run a knife around the edge of the cake. Remove the rim of the pan. When barely warm, lift out the tube bottom and remove the parchment paper.
