Instructions
Preparation
- First chop the dates, almonds, cashews, walnuts, glazed cherries, candied orange peels, candied ginger.
- In a bowl or jar soak the chopped nuts and dry fruits as well the tutti frutti, raisins and sultanas in red wine.
- Cover and keep this bowl or jar in a cool dry place. For 3 days I kept the bowl out and then for the remaining days I kept in the fridge. Every alternate day shake the jar or stir the bowl.
Making wine cake
- Sieve the all-purpose flour (maida) with salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add cinnamon powder, grated nutmeg and instant coffee. Mix well.
- Preheat your oven at 200 degree C/390 degrees F for 15 minutes. Grease a 6 to 7 inches diameter round cake pan or a regular loaf pan with some oil or line the pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir and mix 1 tablespoon water with 2 tablespoons curd/yogurt until smooth. Set aside
- Next add the soaked nuts and dry fruits mixture, cacao nibs, brown sugar, yogurt and water mixture, oil, milk and vanilla extract.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to get an even batter.
- Pour the batter in the greased or parchment paper lined cake pan of 6 to 7 inches diameter.
- Bake the eggless wine cake in a preheated oven for 200 degree C/390 degrees F for about 50 mins to 1 hour or till a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
- Keep the cake in the middle rack with both the top and bottom heating elements of the oven on.
- If the top of the cake gets to brown quickly, then cover the top with aluminium foil or parchment paper.
- Place the cake pan on a wired rack to cool. When the red wine cake has cooled completely, remove it from the pan.
- Wrap the cake in an aluminium foil or cling film and allow the wine cake to mature for 2 to 3 days (at room temperature or in the fridge) before serving.
- Slice and serve Wine Cake as a dessert or sweet.
Notes
- For vegan substitutions, use soy yogurt or cashew yogurt. Use soy milk, almond milk or cashew milk instead of dairy milk.
- You can also use apple juice instead of wine and soak the dry fruit for a day or two in the apple juice.
- The approximate nutritional information is for one slice of the cake.
