- Now beat the egg yolks in a separate mixing bowl.
- Powder sugar with 2 cloves and add to the egg yolks and beat in high speed till creamy.
- Add oil to the egg yolks mix. Beat. Now grate and add orange zest (taking care not to grate the white part as it gives a bitter taste) followed by vanilla essence. Beat again.
- Next add the ½ cup caramelized sugar syrup and continue beating.
- Now place a sieve over this and add flour, baking powder, baking soda and spices. Mix gently with a spatula using cut and fold method in same direction.
- Strain the dry fruits and add to the batter (without juice). Dust the cashews with some flour and add it to the batter and mix using cut and fold method.
