Rich fruit cake

Today I am posting a recipe that's really close to my heart . As a baker , we have some cherished recipes. I love baking so I have a few recipe that are really dear to me . It's a little tedious baking stuffs . It's a scientific lab kitchen where you cannot go wrong with ingredients. Today's recipe is our family recipe. We love fruity cakes. So there will get over within two days ,whatever the quantity maybe. 
The cake is a very tricky one. As there are soo many ingredients with lots of nuts ,not to forget the butter and ghee that's the integral part of thic cake.
The cake has few points to be noted .

Do not topple the cake in warm state. It will break into crumbles. Cooling the cake is very important. I would prefer overnight cooling as it is a large cake it takes time to cool . The nuts and the dry fruits add to the nature of the cake and they float perfectly in the cake without falling to the bottom .
One more important note for the cake is the weight . Before combining the flour and the liquid egg mixture, check the weight. The principal theory is that the weight of the liquid should be equal to the liquid egg mixture .
Both will weight one kilo, according to the recipe . I always say those who love baking and intense bakers who would love to explore fruit cakes this is perfect for you. So just follow the recipe and few guidelines that I have mentioned above and you will get a wonderful bake for this year.
Here's the recipe..
