🍰 Step-by-Step Highlights
- Soak the Dry Fruits Mix chopped nuts and dried fruits with coconut milk and jaggery. Let them soak for 30 minutes to retain moisture and enhance flavor.
- Prepare the Batter Add wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix gently in one direction to avoid over-whisking. Adjust consistency with extra flour if needed.
- Grease & Decorate Grease your cake pan with oil and dust with flour. Pour the batter, decorate with reserved dry fruits, and tap lightly.
- Bake with Patience Bake at 200°C for 90 minutes. The rich fruit content requires extra time. Use a toothpick test to check doneness.
- Cool & Celebrate Let the cake cool, then demould and serve. In the video, the cake was lovingly cut after a family havan—a beautiful blend of tradition and taste.
