Cooking Instructions

1 hr 20 mins
  1. 1

    First, chop your dried fruits and soak them in cold water.

  2. 2

    Beat three eggs with sugar, vanilla and salt slowly increasing the speed of the mixer.

    Try to incorporate lots of air while beating the eggs.

    Add oil when the mixture almost doubled in size and continue mixing it up.

  3. 3

    Add milk, flour, chopped hazelnuts, dried fruits, baking soda, baking powder.

  4. 4

    Mix it up in the slow setting, don’t beat it up or mix too much.

    When you can’t see any flour bits in the mixture, stop mixing.

    You can change to spatula here.

  5. 5

    Put the batter into a desired ovenware. I used a round cake pan here.

    Start baking the cake in cold oven set 150C/300F until it rises.

    After 20 minutes, or after it rises, crank the heat up to 180C/350F.

  6. 6

    Take the cake out of the oven by doing a toothpick test after 40 minutes.

    The baking time may change depending on your ovens.

    Cool the cake before slicing and serving.
