Simple Morning Fruit Cake

by

This recipe is a delightful, filling breakfast made with only three ingredients. It’s quick to prepare, naturally sweet, and packed with energy to start the day. The dense texture and vibrant flavor come from dried fruits, which provide natural sugars, fiber, and essential nutrients. The simplicity of this recipe makes it perfect for busy mornings—no complicated steps, just wholesome ingredients that come together beautifully.

The cake is moist, slightly chewy, and rich in flavor. It’s satisfying enough to keep you energized throughout the morning, while also being light enough to enjoy with tea or coffee. Because it uses only three ingredients, it’s easy to replicate daily without fuss, and it can be adapted with different dried fruits depending on preference.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups mixed dried fruits (raisins, cherries, dates, or any combination you prefer)
  • 1½ cups self-rising flour (or all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon baking powder)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

INSTRUCTION

  1. Prepare the Fruits
    • Place the dried fruits in a bowl. If they are very dry, soak them in warm milk for 10–15 minutes to soften.
  2. Mix the Batter
    • Add the flour to the soaked fruits.
    • Pour in the milk gradually, stirring until a thick batter forms.
  3. Bake the Cake
    • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
    • Grease a small baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
    • Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly.
    • Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Serve
    • Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing.
    • Serve warm or at room temperature.

SERVINGS

This recipe yields 6–8 slices, depending on portion size.

NOTE

  • Daily Enjoyment: Because it uses only three ingredients, this cake can be made fresh every morning without hassle.
  • Variations: You can switch the dried fruits depending on what you have—raisins, figs, apricots, or dates all work well.
  • Storage: If you make extra, store slices in an airtight container for up to two days.
  • Balance: Pair with a cup of tea, coffee, or warm milk for a complete breakfast.
