Instructions

Step 1— Prepare the Fruit Soak

1

In a bowl, combine the orange juice, water, and lemon juice.

2

Add the tutti frutti, raisins, dried apricots, dried cranberries, and prunes. Let the mixture soak to soften the fruits.

Add the orange zest and mix well. Set this mixture aside.

Step 3— Prepare Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and brown sugar until well combined.

2

Add the yogurt and vanilla extract, whisking until the batter is smooth and elastic.

Step 4— Combine Batter

1

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

2

Add the soaked fruit mixture (along with the liquid) and the nuts (almonds, walnuts, and cashews) to the batter. Fold them in until evenly distributed.

Step 5— Bake

1

Pour the batter into a prepared cake tin.

2

Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 160°C for 50–55 minutes.

3

Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
