1

Prepare the cake tin by greasing it with oil and lining the bottom with butter paper, also greasing the butter paper.

2

If butter paper is unavailable, dust the tin with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent sticking.

3

Chop mixed dried fruit into small chunks and coat them with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking during baking.

4

In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of milk, 3 tablespoons of cooking oil, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla essence until combined.

5

Sift 1/2 cup of flour and mix it with 1 tablespoon of custard powder (or cornflour) and 1/2 tablespoon of baking powder.

6

Separate 2 eggs, placing the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.

7

Beat the egg whites until they are fluffy, then add 1/2 tablespoon of white vinegar to help them become airy.

8

Gradually add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar in three parts while continuing to beat the egg whites until soft stiff peaks form.

9

Gently fold the dry flour mixture into the beaten egg whites in three parts, using a spatula and a cut-and-fold method.

10

Add the milk and oil mixture to the batter and mix until combined.

11

Take 1 tablespoon of the batter and mix it with the egg yolks to thicken the yolk mixture before adding it to the main batter.

12

Combine the yolk mixture with the rest of the batter using the cut-and-fold method until fully incorporated.
