Ingredients

  • All purpose flour - 1/2 cup
  • Whole wheat flour - 1/2 cup
  • Demerara sugar - 1 cup
  • Dry fruits and nuts soaked in rum - 1/2 cup (check above post)
  • Olive oil - 1/2 cup
  • Yogurt - 1/2 cup
  • Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Baking Soda - 1/4 tsp
  • Cinnamon powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Green cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Vanilla Essence - 1/2 tsp
  • Orange Zest - 1 tbsp

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven at 180 Degree C.

  2. Sift wheat flour, all purpose flour, baking soda and baking powder twice together and keep it aside.

  3. Add sugar, oil in a bowl and mix it well until sugar completely dissolves.

  4. Add yogurt and blend it well. Now add flour mix slowly and blend it well. Make sure there are no lumps in the batter.

  5. Add powdered cinnamon, cardamom powder, orange zest, vanilla essence and give a quick stir. Add rum and soaked nuts, fruits and raisins and mix well.

  6. Grease the cake tin with some oil evenly and add the batter to it.

  7. Bake at 180 C for 70 minutes. Check after 70 minutes by inserting a toothpick at the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, then your cake is done or else continue baking for more time and keep a watch on it. My cake took 75 minutes to get a even brown color crust. Once it has cooled down, invert it on a wire rack and let it cool down completely.
