Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven at 350F for 10 minutes.
2. Beat Egg and Butter in a mixing pan well
3. Then add flour and coco powder to it and mix well
4. It will be a thick paste by then..Now add the sugar to it and keep mixing
5. Add half cup of water , mix and check the consistency. it should not be too thick or too watery. (In a idli batter consistency I would say). if required add the remaining water and veg oil.
6.Chop all the nuts and fruits of your choice and add to the cake mix along with the orange peel.
7. Cover the cake pan with the aluminium foil and grease it. Pour the cake mix to it and set the timer for 50 minutes.
8. keep the pan in the lower wire rack.
9. After 50 minutes, check the cake with the tooth pick, whether it is done or not... if it comes out sticky, bake for another 10 minutes.
10. Let the cake cool down completely for at least 4 to 5 hours. remove it from pan and then wrap in another aluminum foil completely for few more hours.
