Dried Fruits Cake Recipe

Soft christmas special cake made using dried fruits and nuts to create this snack sized cake. The cake itself is super soft and fluffy with lots of dried fruits and nuts in them. 

About Dried fruits cake

Dried fruit cake is made using flour, sugar, eggs, oil, milk powder and dried fruits. The cake uses oil instead of butter which creates perfect crumb and moist texture in the cake. Because of the addition of variety of dried fruits and nuts added in the cake it makes it super fragrant.

This type of fruit cakes are baked during christmas season. Since dried fruits and nuts are available abundant during this time.

The cake is perfect to gift during this time of the year. Individually wrapped dried fruits cake makes a great gift ideas for christmas.

Dried Fruits Cake Ingredients for Christmas

Plain Flour - all purpose flour is used in making this cake. It makes the cake soft and tender. You could use entirely wheat flour or a mixture of half plain flour and half whole wheat flour. I am sure the cake texture will be good either way.

Milk powder - I recommend using milk powder in the cake. Milk powder adds the proper texture to the cake and make it tasty.

Dried fruits and nuts - You can use a mixture of any nuts or dried fruits as you prefer. I recommend using raisins, dates, tutti fruity and cashews for best taste.

Eggs- eggs are used in this cake. You can skip eggs and use extra ¼ cup of yogurt instead of eggs. 

Oil - I used refined oil in my cakes. You could use any flavourless oil like vegetable oil or canola oil. Melted butter can be used in this cake as well.

Dairy - Milk and curd can be used to create proper perfect texture in the cake.
