Notes
Make sure to soak the dry fruits and nuts at least for 2-3 hours or a minimum of a day before.
Do not over or under mix the cake batter.
Preheat the oven before starting to make the cake batter.
Use any of your favorite dry fruits and nuts for the cake.
You can use butter instead of oil.
To make the cake vegan, simply use any non-dairy yogurt in the recipe.
You can omit brandy and soak the fruits in apple juice as well.
Cool the cake completely before adding icing glaze.
If your batter seems a bit dry add a few tablespoons of hot water.
