Steps In Making
- Preheat the oven at 160C (320F) for 10 minutes, placing the rack in the center of the oven. Now grease a loaf pan 9 x 5 x 3 inch with butter and line it with a parchment paper and keep it aside.
- In a large bowl add finely chopped or grated jaggery, curd and oil. Now with the help of a whisk, beat them well until well combined and the jaggery melts completely.
- Sieve all the dry ingredients like- whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom powder, and nutmeg powder and gently fold them into the wet ingredients.
- In another bowl add the dried fruits- almonds, black currants and tutti frutti. Now add around 2 tablespoons of whole wheat flour and coat the dried nuts and fruits in it.
- Add the above dried fruits into the batter and give it a gently mix.
- Add milk in two batches and mix till everything is just combined. Do not over mix.
- Now pour the cake batter in the prepared loaf pan.
- Smoothen the top with the back of a spoon and tap couple of times to remove any air bubbles.
- Top it with some chopped almonds and bake it in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes at 160C or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once the cake has baked let it cool down for around 10-15 minutes before removing it from the loaf pan.
- Serve warm or cold. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for upto 10 days.
Recipe Notes
- All ingredients used in this recipe should be at room temperature.
- You can take powdered jaggery too.
- After adding the flour don’t over beat the batter, else the cake might turn hard.
- Always coat the dried fruits with the flour, else they might settle at the bottom of the cake after baking.
- You can use any dried fruits or nuts of your choice, just keep the total measurements same.
- This cake tastes better the next day, as the flavours get time to incorporate. Also the top layer and the crumbs might be slightly hard on the same day. But if you can’t resist you can eat it on the same day too.
- Bake the cake on bake mode and place it in the center rack so it gets even heat from all sides.
