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. Pin
