Cool the cake completely before slicing
Dust the dry fruits with little flour to prevent them from sinking to bottom. I missed that step
My mixed dry fruits contain raisins, currants, cranberry, candied citrus peel
You can also use figs, apricots, dates, plums, tutti fruti, cherries
You can use nuts like cashews, badam, pista, hazelnuts, walnuts
You can use nutmeg and clove powder also. You can prepare the spice powder by roasting them and grinding to powder.
