Step 4

Step 4
Pour sifted wheat flour combined with baking powder into a bowl with liquid ingredients. Add flour in small batches, stirring the dough with a spoon each time so that it does not form lumps. The flour must be sifted to remove foreign objects that may be in the store-bought product, as well as to saturate the flour with oxygen and make the product fluffy and airy.

Step 5

Step 5
The dough should have the consistency of thick sour cream, but fluid. You may need a little more or less flour than the amount indicated in the composition, because the density and quality of flour varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. You need to focus on the consistency of the dough. You can read more about flour and its properties in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

Add dried fruits to the dough. I used dried apricots, prunes, and raisins. Rinse dried fruits first, soak in hot water, dry and roll in flour. You can also add nuts, grated chocolate, and candied fruits.

Pour the dough into a cake pan lined with parchment and greased with vegetable oil and place in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 40 minutes. The exact time and temperature depends on your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, link at the end of the recipe. You can check the readiness of the cake with a wooden skewer: insert it into the middle of the cake and immediately remove it. If the skewer is dry, the cake is ready.

Bon appetit!
