  4. ½ teaspoon nutmeg powder
  5. 2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  6. ¼ teaspoon ginger powder

  8. 300 gm mixed chopped fruits (tutti fruity/almonds/candied peels/preserved fruit/dates/ etc)

  10. 150 gm light brown sugar
  11. 240 ml buttermilk
  12. 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  13. 9X5X3 inch loaf tin or 9 inch cake tin

Method –

  1. Sift refined flour, salt, baking soda and grounded spices to ensure there are no lumps.
  2. Mix chopped fruits in the dry ingredient and coat them well. This step will stop sinking of fruits to the bottom of the cake.
  3. Beat melted but cold butter with sugar & vanilla essence till light and fluffy. Then add room temperature buttermilk and mix well. Do not worry if wet mixture curdles, it will be ok moment you will add it with dry ingredients.
  4. Now add wet ingredients with dry ingredients and mix well.
  5. Preheat oven on 180 degree.
  6. Prepare your (9X5X3 inch) loaf tin or 9 inch cake tin. Grease the cake pan with butter and line with parchment or butter paper.
  7. Pour the cake batter in the prepared cake tin and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes on 180 degree Celsius.
  8. After 40 min, insert tooth pick in the cake to check if it is done or not. If tooth pick comes out clean, cake is baked. Sides of cake will also leave the cake tin once the cake is baked to the perfection.
  9. Take out the cake from oven and let it cool down for 15-20 minutes before demolding.
  10. After demolding, let the cake cool down completely and then cover the cake with parchment paper to store on room temperature or you can slice the cake and store it in the air tight container on room temperature. You can even deep freeze this cake for months. On room temperature, shelf life of this cake is approx. 2-3 weeks.

Tips & Tricks:

  1. You can also make buttermilk at home. Just warm 240 ml milk and add 1 tablespoon vinegar in it and let it sit for 10 minutes. Buttermilk is ready.
  2. Always chop your fruits as this helps cake to be uniformed and also help cut clean pieces.
