The dried fruit and chocolate cake is one of those cakes that is a hit at my house, even though I don’t love dried fruit, but fortunately, the other members love it very much.
This time, since it is an old cake, but I am putting it on the blog now, I made it to gift it and everyone was ecstatic.
Despite the many ingredients of the cake, one might think it is a dry and compact batter, but instead, it is very soft and really good.
No need to keep praising it, you just have to trust me and prepare it at least once and you will see the success it will have!!!
If you make any of my recipes, send me the photos and I will publish them on my page with your name.
