Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 170C for 10 minutes. Grease an 8 inch pan with oil and parchment paper at the bottom.

  • Please be gentle while mixing. Take care not to have any unmixed flour.
  • The batter would be a bit thick, not pourable consistency. If you feel it is too thick, then add 1/4 cup of water to it and combine. 
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Once done, remove the cake from the oven, let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes to cool. Then slowly unmould it from the cake pan on to a wire rack and let it cool completely.
  • For Caramel preparation: In a pan, place 1/2 cup of sugar and stir in 2 tablespoons of water. Turn the heat to medium.
  • Keep stirring it till all the crystals melt , keep cooking it n it's colour will change from light brown to darker as darker the sugar, the stronger flavour our caramel cake frosting will have.
  • Now add dry fruits to caramel, mix it n turn off the gas flame.
  • Place caramelized dryfruits over cake, n pour extra caramel around the cake.
  • Super delicious Caramelized Dryfruit is ready to relish, serve it chilled.
