How many cups of fruit mixture?

Question

I am planning on making this cake soon, but I am not going to make the whole recipe. The dried fruit is soaking right now, but I don't remember exactly how much (how many lbs) I used.

To get to the point: How many cups of fruit mixture is needed (do the listed ingredients make) for the whole recipe?
Thank you!

Did you ever end up making this?  Did you, by chance, measure the fruit once macerated?  If so, I'm hoping you wrote it down or remember how much you ended up with? :)

I have the fruit and alcohol mixture aging in my pantry for the past 2 years now (long story). It looks about 4-5 cups total (I'm eyeballing the unprocessed macerated fruit in my container). I think that you'll probably use ~3 cups for the half recipe. Black cake is dense and moist, like many fruit cakes.

Good luck!
