A pleasing and easy Eggless Light Fruit Cake that was lighter and can be enjoyed anytime of the year.
I used only half a cup of ready packed dry fruits but you may mix your own consisting of dried apricot, raisin, cranberries, fig, date and many more Increase the quantity of dry fruit up to one cup. for pretty presentation top it with candied cherries.
Make sure you beat the yogurt, oil and sugar well until fluffy as to incorporate air as much as possible.
After adding flour. use your spoon to make quick circle clockwise and cut in the center. Do not over mix. Tap pan a few times to release air bubbles.
