2020, I decided to revamp this recipe with a bit of extra oomph without going over the top with decor or extra icing. I still prefer my cakes to be simple. Because simplicity is always the ultimate sophistication, do you agree?

I will be dividing this recipe into 2 parts: soaking of fruits and baking the cake. But it will be all in the same post. I will update the 2nd part after 10 days; that is how long I am gonna soak the fruits. You can do it in 7 days. You can of cos use any types of liqueur you desire, I decided to go for Cointreau for that extra fruity punch.

To make life easier, I am using a dried fruits mix from Foodsterr. You can also use any other dried fruit combinations you are fond of too. Dried cranberries, blueberries, candied lemon peels or sultanas are great options. I will see you in 10 days.
