Finely chop the almonds, cashews, and walnuts. Combine them with raisins, cranberries, blueberries, and tuti fruti to make one cup of dry fruits.
Extract the juice of two oranges and set it aside.
In a pan, add the orange juice, jaggery, butter, and dry fruits. Cook until the orange juice dries up completely.
Let the mixture cool down before proceeding to the next step.
Add milk, oil, and vanilla essence to the cooled dry fruit mixture and mix well.
Sift maida, milk powder, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg powder together. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring to combine.
Finally, add baking powder, baking soda, salt, and vinegar to the batter and mix thoroughly until smooth.
Pour the batter into a greased container and garnish with dry fruits on top.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Ensure the orange juice is completely dried up during cooking to avoid a soggy cake.
Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor.
Grease the container well to prevent the cake from sticking.
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
