    Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Fruits, Nuts
    Yield: 1 Cake

    2 c Maida (A-P Flour)
    3 tb Cocoa powder
    1/2 ts Baking soda
    1 ts Baking powder
    1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 c Water
    1/2 c Brown sugar
    1/2 c Craneberry juice
    1/4 c Oil
    1/4 c Curd (yoghurt)
    4 tb Honey

    MMMMM-----------------------FRUITS & NUTS----------------------------
    1/2 c Dried fruits; raisins,
    - dates, cherries, cranberry
    - raspberries
    3 tb Nuts; pecans/walnuts, cashew
    - almonds, pistachios

    First soak all dried fruits in 1/2 cup cranberry juice.

    Cover and keep aside for few minutes till we assemble
    all the ingredients to make cake.

    Take water in a microwave safe bowl and micro high for a
    minute till the water is hot.

    Mix hot water in previously soaked dried fruits and nuts
    and let it steep for few minutes.

    For mixing wet ingredients into soaked fruits, add honey
    and brown sugar to this.

    Next mix in oil. Stir well and keep aside.

    In the meantime, for mixing dry ingredients take all
    purpose flour/maida, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking
    powder, cinnamon powder in a bowl and mix well.

    Sieve/sift it twice.

    Now mix wet and dry ingredients together nicely with
    spatula and mix both well.

    Add curd (yoghurt) and mix it well again.

    Take a microwave safe bowl/tin, brush all side with oil.

    Place butter paper covering the bowl/tin for making
    cake.

    Pour the batter in till the half way.

    If required use 2 small bowls/tins. As the cake would
    need space to rise.

    Preheat the microwave for a minute.

    Place the bowl/tin inside the microwave and set the
    timer for 5 mins.

    Micro high the cake for 5 minutes and when it is done,
    leave it inside the hot microwave with a standing time
    of 5 mins.

    Remove it from oven, and check with a toothpick
    inserted.

    If it comes out clean it's ready.

    Allow it to cool completely. Invert it on a plate, slice
    it and enjoy.

    Notes: Don't fill the microwave safe bowl to the brim. As
    the cake rises, just fill it half way. Or divide the
    batter in two bowls and micro it.

    After you take the cake out of the microwave, allow the
    cake to cool completely before slicing it.
