White Chocolate with Dried Fruits Cake

I came across this cooking website and I am “falling in love” with all her delicious and tempting photos of food. I can’t wait to try all the recipes! (kinda greedy… hehe)

Ok, I think I should decide what I am going to try from her list. I chose to bake this “White Chocolate with Dried Fruits Cake”.

This… really taste GOOD! I love the texture as it was so soft and fluffy! As you know I love raisins so this is a PLUS for the cake. Also, I love the dried apricot. The combination was perfect! You should try this out.

This recipe definitely is a keeper for me!
