2 to 2.5 cups
self raising flour or 2 to 2,5 cups all purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder
3
eggs
1 cup
unsalted margarine
1 & 3/4
sugar
1 cup
freshly squeezed orange juice
3/4 cup
walnuts chopped
1/4 cup
pine nuts
1/2 cup
cranberries
1/2 cup
quartered prunes
1,5 teaspoons
cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon
clove powder
1/2 cup
powdered sugar (about)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350° F or 180° C.
Βutter and flour a cake pan.
In a big bowl beat the margarine for 2’.
Add the 1/2 of sugar stir, then add the rest of sugar and stir for about 3’.
Add the eggs and stir well to unite.
Add 1/2 of flour and stir, add the orange juice stir and add the rest of flour, cinnamon and clove powder.
Stir to unite all the ingredients, add walnuts, pine nuts, cranberries and prunes, stir again.
Pour the mixture into the cake pan and bake for about 60’.
You can check if the cake is ready after 45’.
Let the cake completely cool and sprinkle on some powdered sugar.
You can skip prunes without replacing them with anything else. But, if you want, you can use raisins as a substitute, or even dates, although they give completely different flavor.
Of course you can. I personally use only extra virgin olive oil and vegan margarine substitute for butter for lighter and healthier food. Βut, because food and especially desserts (for some like me) is a pleasure, let's enjoy them in the best way that suits our taste.
