Peel and cut the apples and the pear in small cubes. Steam them, for example by putting them in a sieve hanging over a pot with boiling water. Stir them from time to time so that all of them can get nicely soft. While they are steaming, you can peel the banana and the chiku and take out the stone of the chiku. Additionally you pit the plums and cut them into pieces. Put all three fruits in pieces into a blender and mix them until they become thick puree. Cut the grapes in halves and, if there are seeds, take them out. Peel the orange, first the outer skin and then also the inner skin of the smaller pieces. Remove the seeds so that only the pulp is left. When the steamed apple and pear pieces are soft enough, make puree out of it. Mix the two purees together. Peel the peaches and cut them in very small pieces.

Now mix the cinnamon, mace and baking powder with the flour. Heat up the ghee to let it melt. When it is hot, mix the sugar into it, so that the sugar melts to a nice paste. Mix this paste into the puree and straight away add also the flour and the spices. Mix it really well.

Now you can add the grapes, the peaches and the cardamom powder. In the end you add the orange pulp and mix it with a light hand.

Drip a few drops of hot ghee into the baking pan and grease the whole pan by wiping it with a kitchen towel. After this you spread a little bit of flour onto the ghee. This will ensure that your cake won’t stick to the baking pan.

In the next step you put the paste of flour and fruit into the baking pan and in the end you place the pan in your oven. We have a gas oven here in which it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to bake this cake. As most of you will be baking in electric ovens, I would recommend baking at 180 degrees Celsius for about half an hour. No matter in which oven you bake, you should always check after a while how the cake looks like. If it looks as if it is burning on top, cover it with a lid or aluminum foil.

You know that your cake is ready if you stick a thin knife in and it comes out without batter on it.

When it is ready, take your cake out of the oven and let it cool down. Then you get it out of the baking pan by turning it upside down. Just before serving you sprinkle sugar powder on top and can even make nice designs in this way.
