How to Make Dry Fruits Cake

  1. Prep dry fruits: Soak chopped dry fruits in warm milk for 30 minutes. This softens them and enhances flavor.

  3. Cream ghee and sugar: In a separate bowl, beat ghee and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Mix in soaked dry fruits (with milk), lemon juice, and rose water. Stir well.
  5. Combine mixtures: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, folding gently to combine. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Prepare baking pan: Grease a cake pan with ghee and dust with flour to prevent sticking.
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour batter into pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool and garnish: Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Garnish with chopped nuts and grated coconut.
  9. Serve: Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade dry fruit cake!

QUALITIES OF PURE Dry Fruits

If it's pure, you can be sure

  • Appearance High-quality fruits are visually appealing, with vibrant colors, smooth skin, and uniform shape. They should be free from blemishes, bruises, or signs of decay. A glossy apple or a bright yellow banana often signals freshness and ripeness, making them more attractive to consumers.
  • Flavor For example, a ripe mango should be juicy and fragrant, while a good orange delivers a refreshing citrus burst. Artificial ripening often compromises this natural flavor Let me know if you'd like this tailored to Indian fruits specifically!.
  • Texture The feel of a fruit—whether crisp, soft, or firm—reflects its quality. Apples should be crunchy, bananas creamy, and grapes plump. Texture also affects shelf life and consumer satisfaction, making it an important trait in evaluating fruit quality.
  • Nutrition Fruits are valued for their health benefits. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they support immunity, digestion, and overall wellness. Guavas offer vitamin C, bananas provide potassium, and berries are loaded with antioxidants, making fruits essential for a balanced diet.
