    It is more like a tradition in my close friends circle, where I bake few goodies along with this fruit cake for New year, which we follow till date. 🤞

    Ingredients for making Apricot Cake with Jaggery

    • Whole wheat flour, for personal reasons I bake only with whole wheat flour. You can use All purpose flour instead of whole wheat flour.
    • I have used both baking powder and baking soda to make these eggless fruit cake.
    • Milk, liquid used to make these fruit cake with dried fruits.
    • Apricots & raisin, I have used chopped dried apricots along with mixed black and golden raisins in the apricot raisin cake.
    Ingredients for making Christmas fruit cake
    • Fat, I have used butter in this recipe, you can also substitute it with any flavorless oil.
    • Flavorings, I have used cinnamon powder, ginger powder, mixed spices like pepper and clove powder in this festive fruit cake.

    How to Bake Apricot & Raisin Fruit Cake

    Please check recipe card below for exact measurements of each ingredient used and also for the detailed instructions

    • I have given both measurements in weight and cups. Measure and keep all ingredients ready in room temperature.
    • Preheat the oven to 160C. Grease or line the baking tins with butter or parchment. I have used 2 baking pans of 6 inch. You can also use 1 8 inch cake tin.
    • In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder and soda and all the spices. Whisk well to combine. To this flour mix add the chopped apricots and raisins.

    • In another wide bowl, take milk and jaggery together, whisk well for the jaggery to dissolve. To this add butter and whisk well.
    • Now slowly add the dry flour mix to the wet ingredients in batches. Use a whisk to combine.
    • Divide the batter into the prepared tins and bake them in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
    • Remove the cake and let it sit in the cake tin for 5 minutes, then carefully unmold it on to a wire rack to cool completely.
    • Enjoy the cake warm.

    Calories: 315kcal

    Equipment

    • Convection oven
    • Measuring cups and spoons
    • Whisk and spatula
    • Bowls for mixing the batter
    • Weighing Scale for measuring ingredients optional

    Ingredients

    • 350 grams Whole Wheat Flour approximately 2 cups
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 210 grams jaggery approximately 1 cup
    • 250 milli milk approximately 1 cup
    • 100 grams melted butter approximately ½ cup
    • 75 grams Chopped dried apricots
    • 50 grams black and golden raisins mixed
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
    • ½ teaspoon dried ginger powder
    • ½ teaspoon cardamom and clove powder 4 cardamom, only seeds and 3 cloves pounded
    • few sliced almonds for topping optional

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 160 C. Grease or line 2 6 inch baking pans with butter or 1 8 inch pan with butter or parchment. I have generously greased the cake tins with butter.
    • Measure all the ingredients mentioned and keep it ready in room temperature on the kitchen counter.
    • In a wide bowl, take flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon powder, ginger powder and cardamon clove powder and whisk well to get a uniform flour mix
    • To the dry flour mix add chopped apricots and raisins. Mix well to combine. This ensures the fruit is distributed uniformly in the cake, instead of sinking to the bottom of the bake.
    • In a wide bowl. add milk and jaggery. Using a whisk mix the jaggery well to dissolve.
    • To this now add melted butter and whisk well.
    • To this wet ingredients, slowly add the dry flour mix in batches and combine using a whisk.
    • After adding all the flour to the wet mix, use a spatula and combine well. Make sure there is no dry flour in the batter.
    • Divide the prepared cake batter into the cake tins. Tap gently to release any air inside.
    • Sprinkle some chopped almonds on top. This is purely optional. If you don't prefer almonds you can use walnuts or even sprinkle apricots and raisins too.
    • Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake, comes out clean.
    • Oven temperature and baking time differs from model to model. So keep an eye on the cake after 30 minutes.
    • Once done, remove the cake and let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes to cool down.
    • Once it is cooled enough, slowly unmold the cake from the cake tin to wire rack. Let it cool completely.
    • Allowing the cake to rest is very important before removing the cake from the tin. Been there and done that, be patience or you will end up with half the cake in the pan and half in your hand.
    • Freshly baked cake stays good on the kitchen counter for a day or two. If storing for more time, i recommend refrigerating in an air-tight container. While serving cold cakes from the refrigerator, reheat the slice for 20 seconds in the microwave and serve warm
