Instructions
For the Fruits Soak
Take all the dry fruits and nuts in a bowl.
Pulse the orange, sweet lime and sieve to remove the fiber. Add to the fruits.
Pulse the apple to get a puree, add to the soak.
Finally, add the apple cider vinegar and mix everything well.
The plan was to soak for a couple of hours, this ended up getting soaked for 2 days.
For the Cake
Take the flour in a bowl, add the soaked fruits, sugar, melted butter, milk along with thick caramel sauce. Combine all the ingredients gently.
Finally add the baking powder, baking soda.
Grease a bundt cake pan, grease with butter, transfer the batter into it.
Preheat the oven to 170C and bake for 60 minutes.
Notes
The cake was very soft, so maybe I could've avoided butter or reduced it. Else I could've baked it at 150C for 1.5 hrs.The taste was simply too good except it being melt in the mouth types, rather than the typical dry Chrismas Fruitcake you see.
