I have been searching for a best alcohol free recipe of this plum cake as my husband has been demanding this cake for long time.finslly I came across this recipe from a fellow blogger Ann jacob … I just followed it and came out perfect… even my in-laws on their visit here loved it.My mom is not fond of any cakes and sweets but this time on her birthday she was here with me I wanted to prepare some cake for her but she refused it not to bake anything for her but I wanted to bake something for her. I remeber one day she telling that she likes plum cakes.then I had no other choice just went on prepared it she just loved it.
This is one of tried and tested recipe I would say so easy to prepare and only thing id to soak the dry nuts in orzmge juice for minimum 6 hours..I feel it much healthy than other cake though it’s dense and rich cake with loads of nuts …I have tried so many times so thought I will share this with my viewers too… As this post took long to get published as I thought It would be better with the video ..finally it’s here yo get published as post..
