Merry Christmas 🎄


Baked this delicious eggless plum Cake on Christmas for family & friends. Instead of rum I had soaked the dryfruits in orange juice for 24 hrs, we can also use apple juice or grape juice. This cake was absolutely the star of the show for our evening party. I got tons of appreciation for my effort.

This homemade Eggless Christmas Plum Cake is much more richer in texture & taste due to the whole spices. The important factor in making plum cake is the baking time. This cake is baked at lower temperature for the perfect texture which indeed make this cake more flavourful.

Let's check the ingredients & method to make this yummy homemade eggless fruit cake!!!

    What is tutti Frutti?

      Tutti frutti is a colorful confectionery containing various chopped and usually candied fruits, or an artificial or natural flavouring simulating the combined flavour of many different fruits

    Am I missing something? (Believe me, I’ve been known to miss a lot!). Shouldn’t plum cake have……plums in it ? 🤔
