Dried fruit cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Cut the prunes (not finely, I usually cut them into 4 parts)

2. STEP 2

   

   Chop the dates (not finely, I usually cut them into 4 pieces)

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour hot tea over raisins, dates and prunes for at least half an hour.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat eggs with powdered sugar.

5. STEP 5

   

   Mix dry ingredients (flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder)

6. STEP 6

   

   Strain the dried fruits. Attention! 150 ml of strained tea is needed for the test!!!

7. STEP 7

   

   Sift the dry mixture into the egg mixture. Mix carefully. The dough will become quite elastic. If it's hard to mix, don't worry.

8. STEP 8

   

   After adding the soaked dried fruits and strained tea, stir. The dough will resemble thick sour cream.

9. STEP 9

   

   Line the mold with baking paper. Lay out the dough. Bake at 175 C for 40-60 minutes. depending on the oven and shape. Do not open the oven for the first 30 minutes (the cake may settle). After 30 minutes, you can check the cake with a toothpick for doneness. I have a mold with a diameter of 26 cm. The oven bakes from above and below. Usually bakes for about 50 minutes.

10. STEP 10
