A Merry Christmas to all my readers!

Christmas without a fruit cake is not possible, especially in my case, it has to be eggless. It's been a tradition that I have been following for some years now. Bake an eggless Fruit Cake, with the goodness of dry fruits and all that makes a Christmas.

This time for a change I added cocoa to make a chocolate moist, rich Christmas fruit cake. I adapted this from Lathamma's version. She had made it in MW, I will be trying that out as well soon. For now, it's a regular cake baked eggless.

Check out my previous versions of the Fruit Cakes that I have baked. This is another fruit cake you can bake Egg free Fruit Cake without Alcohol
