    ⅛ teaspoon grated nutmeg or nutmeg powder, about 2 to 3 pinches of nutmeg powder
    2 cloves - optional
    ½ teaspoon ground ginger (ginger powder) - optional

    Instructions
    Soaking nuts and dry fruits
    1. Firstly chop all the nuts and dry fruits and take them in a bowl or a jar. Pour rum in the bowl
    or jar.
    2. Cover and let the dry fruits soak for 12 or 24 hours or for 3 days. If you have used apple juice
    or orange juice to soak the dry fruits, then cover the bowl with an air-tight lid or a tightly with
    a clingfilm wrap and keep in the refrigerator.
    3. After some hours or every day stir or shake the bowl or jar, so that all the nuts and dry fruits
    get soaked properly.

    Other preparations
    1. In a spice-grinder or dry grinder, grind the spices listed above, under the heading "for ground
    spice mix" except for ginger powder. Set aside.
    2. Prepare a loaf pan or a round cake pan by greasing it very well with oil. You can also line the
    cake pan with butter paper.
    3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit)for 20 minutes.

    Making cake batter


    1. Sieve the flours, baking powder and the the ground powdered spice mix. You can also add
    ginger powder at this step. Note that ginger powder is optional.
    2. Add the soaked dry fruits together with the leftover rum or apple juice/orange juice. 
    3. Add the oil and demerara sugar or your choice of brown sugar or regular white sugar. Also
    add vanilla extract. Gently mix together the ingredients until just combined, making sure to
    not over-mix.
    4. In a bowl or mug add soy milk. Now add apple cider vinegar and stir gently.
    5. Add baking soda and stir thoroughly. Add this frothing mixture to the cake batter.
    6. Stir and mix quickly but evenly. 

    Baking
    1. Pour in the cake pan.
    2. Shake the pan lightly so that the cake batter is spread evenly throughout the whole pan.
    3. Use a spatula to even the top of the cake.
    4. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 180 degrees celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) for 50
    minutes to 60 minutes or more or less depending on your type of oven. 
    5. The eggless fruit cake will have a lovely golden brown color. Test the doneness by inserting a
    toothpick into the center and it should come out clean.
    6. Let the cake pan cool completely on a wired rack or stand before flipping the cake out onto a
    plate.

    Storage
    1. Wrap the Christmas fruit cake in a cling film or store in an air-tight container at room
    temperature for 3 to 4 days.
    2. The flavors mature over a period of time and thus the eggless fruit cake tastes very good after
    some days. If you stay in a warm climate then keep Christmas fruit cake in the fridge.

    Serving suggestions
    1. Later, slice and serve the eggless fruit cake with a glass of dairy or plant-based milk, or a hot
    cup of cocoa. You can also serve it as a sweet snack.
    Notes
    Baking: If the top of the cake browns quickly, then cover the top with parchment paper or
    aluminium foil.
    Milk and fats: Instead of soy milk you can use dairy milk or almond milk, cashew milk or lite
    coconut milk. Instead of oil you can use butter.
    Nuts: Feel free to add nuts like almonds, pecans, walnuts, pistachios instead of cashews. You
    can also opt to add a mix of these nuts. Also, make sure that these nuts are not salted. 
    Candied peels: Do add the candied peels as they really add some bitter notes to the cake
    which is otherwise sweet and this is what makes the Christmas fruit cake different from a
    regular fruit cake.
    Soaking: The nuts and dry fruits can be soaked in orange juice or apple juice instead of rum.
    You can also use equal proportions of rum and wine if you want. If soaking in apple or orange
    juice then keep the bowl in the fridge. If kept outside even for a few hours in a warm climate
    like that of India, the juices will get spoiled. 
    Flours: This christmas cake can also be entirely made with whole wheat flour (atta) or all
    purpose flour (maida). You can also use pastry flour or whole wheat pastry flour.
