Ingredients

To make this delicious cake, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened

Instructions

Now that you’ve gathered all the ingredients, let’s get started on making this delicious cake!

Preheat the oven to 350° F (175° C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and sour cream. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just blended. Fold in the walnuts and dried fruits.

Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Nutrition

This dried fruit and nut cake is not only delicious but also packed with nutrition. It is a great source of protein and fiber, thanks to the walnuts and dried fruits. It is also a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and calcium. The butter and sugar give it a rich flavor, but it is still a healthier option than many classic cakes.

This cake is best served warm, but it also tastes great after it has cooled. It can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days. To serve, simply dust with a little bit of powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of sweetened cream or ice cream. Enjoy!
