1. Soaking Dry Fruits
a. First of all take a jar and add 200 grams mixed berry, 100 grams of raisins, 100 grams of dates, 100 grams of fig, 50 grams of tutti frutti, and 50 grams of apricot.
b. Soak all of them in 200 ml grape juice or brandy or rum. You can use orange juice for this purpose.
c. Mix all the items well and soak for at least 8 hours. This way the dry fruits will be able to absorb all the juice.
2. Preparing Plum Cake
a. Now take a large bowl and add 250 grams butter along with 300 grams brown sugar in it. In case, you don't have brown sugar, you can also go for white sugar.
b. Beat the sugar and butter well so that they turn out look like a creamy substance.
c. Once the butter and sugar turn out to be creamy then add 50 grams of oil along with 130 grams of curd. The reason why we are using curd is because this will help us in giving a nice texture to our eggless plum cake.
d. Now you need to beat the mixture until it turns out to be creamy, quite similar to frosting.
e. After this, add 300 grams of all purpose flour also known as maida, 50 grams of almond powder, 1 tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp baking soda, ¼ tsp clove powder and ¼ tsp cinnamon powder.
f. With the help of a spatula, mix everything well. Avoid over-mixing the ingredients else this would make the cake chewy.
g. After this, add all soaked dry fruits. In case, the dry fruits haven't absorbed all the juice then you will have to drain the remaining juice before adding the dry fruits into the mixture.
h. Now, add 2 tablespoons of pistachios, along with 2 tablespoons of cherry and cashew.
i. You need to mix the dry fruits well so that they get combined nicely.
j. At this point, transfer the cake batter into a cake tin or mould.
k. Before transferring the batter, you need to line the tin or mould with a thin butter paper or dust it with loose flour.
l. Tap the tin to ensure there aren't any bubbles in the tin.
m. Now bake the cake into a preheated oven. You need to bake the cake at 160 degrees for around 1.5 hours.
n. Once you have baked the cake, insert a toothpick into the cake to check if it has baked completely.
o. Once the cake cools down and unmold the eggless plum cake.
3. Preparing Cherry Syrup
a. Firstly, take 2 tablespoons of cherry, ¼ cup sugar and 1 cup of water in a pan.
b. Boil the ingredients until the cherry softens.
c. Let the mixture cool down completely.
d. Poke the cake at different places with the help of a skewer. But make sure you do not damage or break the cake entirely.
e. After this, pour the cherry syrup slowly into the holes made by skewer.
f. You can also use alcohol of your choice to feed the cake.
g. Let the cake rest for at least one hour. This way the cake will absorb all the juice.
h. Serve this cake or store it into an air-tight container for a week.
