Delicious Fruit and nut cake my way for Christmas.

Eggless and no ghee or butter . I used half all purpose flour and 1/2 wheat flour . It turned out utterly scrumptious .

Ingredients

1 /2 cup all purpose flour,

1/2 cup wheat flour

/2 cup jaggery

2 tbsp curd

3/4 cup milk

1/2 cup oil

1 tbsp orange zest

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

Pinch of salt

3 tsp all spice ( mix of cinnamon , nutmeg , Clove , ginger )

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup mix of dry fruits like black raisins , dried kiwi , apricots , golden raisins , tutti fruiti, chopped figs , chopped dates .

3/4 cup of chopped nuts like almonds , cashewnuts , pistachios , walnuts Orange fruit juice to soak the dry fruits ( I soaked for 72 hours )

Take a bowl add milk , add oil , add jaggery , curd, zest of lemon , mix well add all dry fruits and nuts , keep some for garnishing the top mix well .

Place a sieve on top add both flours , baking powder , baking soda , salt , sieve all , add the spice powders fold in well till well combined grease a cake pan , line with parchment pour batter in cake tin .

Just tap the pan , place in pre heated oven ,at 170 C bake for 50 to 55 minutes or till done, baking time will vary .

The skewer when tested must come clean to indicate cake is baked completely. Remove cake to a rack , poke small holes , drizzle fruit juice , this is optional , allow cake to cool well , ease out of the tin and set on a plate .

Cling wrap and keep for few hours till you slice .

It is totally irresistible 😋so slice it when completely cool if you cannot wait .
