Last few weeks left for Christmas & New year and everyone enjoying their winter vacations either at home or traveling around the world. This time me and my family are absolutely busy baking lots of cookies & cake! This whole process like shopping, baking, cooking & spending time with family makes me much more happier than anything else. As it's all about good food, lots of hugs and the joy of sharing.

My Christmas & New year is absolutely incomplete if I don’t make scrumptious desserts for my family and friends! This Fruit and Nut Caramelized Cake is a perfect Cake to end this year.  Since I didn’t pre-soak my fruits in liquid this year, I have tried the viral trending hacks of soaking dry fruits. I simply take orange juice, and water along with my dry fruits and cook them over low heat till the fruits absorb the liquids and become nice and plump. This takes literally minutes and makes your dry fruits as juicy as pre-soaked!

The key point in the making of fruit & nut cake is the baking time. We bake this cake slowly at a lower temperature so that it becomes really flavorful and the texture is perfect. Usually a normal cake is baked for 30 minutes while this cake is baked for 45-50 minute at 165°C. And make sure to measure everything properly and  chop the nuts before folding them in the batter.

You'll find the full, step by step recipe below. If you like this Fruit & Nut cake recipe, then please comment down below. I would love to read your thoughts!!!!
