Preparation Steps

• Start by preheating your oven to 180°C.

• Grease a cake tin and line it with butter paper to prevent sticking.

• In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and baking soda.

• This step helps create a light and even texture.

• In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until the mixture becomes soft and creamy.

• Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

• Add few drops of vanilla essence and pinch of pink food colour from Ajanta Food Products

• Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.

• Add milk slowly to achieve a smooth batter.

• Before adding the candied fruits and nuts, toss them lightly in a small amount of flour.

• This prevents them from sinking to the bottom during baking.

• Gently fold them into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

• Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and level the top with a spatula.

• Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes.

• Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center.

• If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

• Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

• Let it cool completely before slicing.

• This helps the structure set properly and makes cutting easier.

• You can serve the cake as it is or add a light glaze on top for extra sweetness.

• For a more festive look, sprinkle additional colorful fruit pieces on top or dust with powdered sugar.
