  • The cake will leave the sides of the mould once its cooked completely, also you can check with knife or skewer. Remove from the pan, allow to cool and demould the cake. Plum cake is ready to serve.

Tips:

  • You can use and dry fruits of your choice, also can add pista, walnuts etc if you wish.
  • Use any brand packed juice of apple, orange or grapes flavour. You can also use fresh orange juice as well. If you are ok with alcohol go soak in rum instead of this juice.
  • You can soak the dry fruit for minimum 6hrs to maximum 2days.
  • The purpose of black caramel is to give dark color as well as a mild bitter taste in the cake.
