Well well well it was a new year eve and this year planned to make a cake which was bit healthier. Oh don't have that look towards me asking cake and healthier???!!! yes made few changes in the ingredients..may be that was the reason the cake was cracked from top but was smooth from the base. But, this cracked was no botheration to people who eat it.. it was perfectly YUmmmmmmm :)))
So lets move on to technicality ;p

Ingredients:
2 cups - All purpose flour (Maida)
1/4 cup - Melted butter
2/4 cup - Light Olive Oil
1 cup - Light Buttermilk
1 tbs - Vinegar
2 tbs - Powdered Flax Seeds
3/4 cup- Powdered sugar
1.5 tbs - Baking powder
1/2 tbs - Baking soda
1/2 cup - Tutty fruity
1/4 cup - Chopped (almonds,raisins, cashewnuts,walnuts)
1/2 tbs - Orange & lemon rind
Butter for greasing & Maida for dusting the cake tin.
Method / Vidhiee:
1. Always sieve maida, baking powder, baking soda and keep it aside.
2. Pre-heat the Owen @ 230 degrees (i used my mother's age old dome type Owen which has 360 degree heat transfer into the cake. Each Owen has its own temperature heating. So, test small portions and analyse your Owen)
3. Mix butter, olive oil. Beat them well. Add vinegar and buttermilk. Beat again them well.
4. Sieve the powdered sugar and add it to the liquid mixture. Add in the flax seeds powder.
5. Beat the mixture well for 5-7 minutes.
6. Add in the maida slowly to the mixture and keep folding the mixture.
7. Add in extra butter milk or olive oil if the batter seems to be tight.
8. Remember the batter has to the pouring consistency but, not in flowing consistency.
9. Add in the orange & lemon rind. Also the nuts, raisins, tutty fruity.
10. Mix well. Grease the cake tin with butter completely and dust with maida a bit.
11. Pour in the cake batter into the tin. Garnish some tutty fruity chunks on top.
12. Heat it for 45 minutes @ 230 degrees. In-between you can check by immersing the wooden stick into the cake. If, the batter is done it wouldn't stick on to the wooden stick.
13. Once it's done do not immediately open the Owen. Keep it inside for 15 minutes.
14. Once cake cools down transfer the cake to another plate.
Serve along with tea/ coffee/juice/ or any beverage. Perfect for evenings. You can also pour on fruit sauce over it to have a immersed fruity sponge cake.
