Ingredients:

• 1 And 1/2 Cups whole wheat flour
• 1 Cup Mixed Dry fruits (plums, raisins, dates, apricots), chopped
• 1/2 Cup unsalted Butter, melted
• 1 Cup plain Yogurt (room temperature)
• 3/4 Cup Brown sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Baking powder
• 1/2 Teaspoon Baking soda
• 1/2 Teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1/4 Teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your Oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a Cake Pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, mix the chopped dry fruits with 2 tablespoons of whole wheat flour. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until well combined.
4. Add yogurt and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until smooth.
5. In a separate mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
7. Fold in the flour-coated dry fruits into the batter.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared Cake Pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
9. Bake in the preheated Oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Allow the cake to cool in the Cake Pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once cooled, you can optionally dust the cake with powdered sugar for a festive touch.
12. Slice, serve, and savor the wholesome goodness of your Whole Wheat Plum Cake!
