As a fairly accomplished fruit cake maker myself, I do feel that your oven temperature is too high, that being set at 180degrees. Also did you mean fan forced or convention? I think it is better to bake at a slower temp for a longer period. Always in a conventional oven.

In Canada, at least, many seem to fear fruitcake as well as dislike it!
