Recipe

1. Pre-heat oven at 350 F. Grease the cake pan, dust with flour, keep aside.

2. Cream the butter and sugar with a hand blender. I used unsalted butter. If you are using the salted variety, then do not add extra salt.

3. Add eggs one by one to the creamed butter-sugar mix. After adding each egg, mix with hand blender. Add vanilla essence and imitation rum flavor, mix.

4. Sift flour, salt and baking powder.

5. Add 1/3 of the flour-mix and gently fold in to the batter. Add half of the milk, mix with a spatula. Repeat till you are done with all the flour and milk.

6. Chop the nuts and dry fruits. I added almond, pistachio, walnut, cherry and cranberry. Fold the chopped dry fruits and nuts to the batter.

7. Pour batter into the prepared pan, bake on the middle rack for 35 min. Check with a toothpick, cool down and enjoy with your family and friends.
