Will definitely get baked.

Add soaked fruit and nut just like I've mentioned in the recipe and add brandy used for soaking in the cake after adding the beaten eggs. You can then cover it with an aluminium foil and keep it to age until Christmas/until serving.. the flavors will get enhanced during that period :) Hope I made it clear. If not do send me an email would be glad to help. Thanks!!

We have to use dry heat to get that brown color, Also the caramel has to be dark brown only then we'll get the brown cake. thanks for trying and remembering to comment us about your experience. If you have a pic do email it or share it in our facebook page.

I always use water in cooker as I have heard many stories in family telling me not to heat it as such And the cake still comes out better without the browning effect .. This was on Aug 26th and I was very sad about color even though it tasted yum .. I learnt my mistakes ..<br />1. Caramel was not that dark 2. I didn't add the grape juice and instead just the nuts and tuti fruiti soaked in it ..<br />I tried the same recipe on Oct 20th in an oven and the cake was just marvelous .. I stood there and wept a little as till date this is the best cake we have baked at home ..<br />It was way better than the bakery cakes .. <br />Thank you so much for this recipe .. Will be trying it again this weekend .. :)<br />Just wanted to compliment u .. 😊 <br />If there was a way to put a pic in this comment I would have .. It turned out that well ..
