- 1 cup flavourless vegetable oil or 1.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1.5 tbsp. cocoa powder (click to buy Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa Powder)
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds (click to buy Urban Platter Slivered California Almonds)
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup rum (If you want to avoid alcohol add 2 tsp. Rum Flavour)
- 3 eggs
Method:
The night before soak the almonds and raisins in rum.
The next day bring the marinated dry fruits to room temperature.
Drain the dry fruits and coat with little flour to avoid sinking at the bottom of the cake tin.

Tip:
- For extra boozy flavour, after baking add a few spoonful of undiluted rum on the hot cake and immediately cover with a tin foil. Cool and uncover before serving slices.
- The cocoa powder does not make this cake chocolatey and only imparts a slight brown color to the otherwise pale looking cake.
