Steps

1

Firstly, in a bowl add desiccated coconut and hot water. Mix it well and set it aside.
2

Now to make the caramel, add sugar and 1 tablespoon of water to a non-stick pan on medium heat.
3

Allow it to come to a boil and after sometime the color starts to change gradually.
4

When the color changes to amber add 2 tablespoon of water and mix it well.
5

Next add the coconut to the caramel and mix it well.
6

Add some salt and mix and cook for a minute. The caramel coconut is ready. Transfer it to a plate and allow it to cool.
7

Next to get the fruit mix ready, in a small mixing bowl, add the chopped dates, the chopped walnuts and cashewnuts, cranberries, golden raisins, grated ginger, zest of lemon, zest of orange and orange juice.
8

Then add cinnamon powder, cardamom powder, honey and orange extract/essence.
9

Mix it well and set it aside.
10

Sift/Sieve all-purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda and set it aside.
11

Now to complete the main task of preparing the cake batter. In a large mixing bowl, add the sweetened caramel coconut, fruit mix and the whisked egg and mix it well.
12

Next add the melted butter and mix it well.
13

At this moment, add the sifted flour and mix it with the help of a spatula or spoon. The cake batter is now ready.
14

If baking in a pan, line it with baking paper. I have used foil containers. Spread some butter all over the inner container so it will help the cake to slip out easily. Pour in the cake mix and garnish it with chopped walnuts, cashewnuts and cranberries. Bake in a preheated oven at 160•C and Bake at for 30 minutes.
