Notes
- Firstly, you can add dried fruits and nuts of your choice.
- Also, I have cooked the dried fruits in orange juice to skip the soaking time. If you have enough time, then make sure to soak the dried fruits for at least 8 hours.
- Additionally, make sure to adjust the batter consistency, as the fruit juice is present in the fruits.
- Finally, the Fruit and Nut Cake Recipe can be stored for up to a week when stored in an airtight container.
