Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 150 °C. Sort the raisins, discard any bad ones, wash them thoroughly, and drain. Place them in a bowl. Halve the cherries and add them to the raisins. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them. Add all the remaining ingredients and mix well.

  2. Grease the cake mold and pour the mixture into it. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 2 hours and 15 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, cover it with baking paper during baking. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven, turn it out onto a plate, and let it cool.

Advice

Margarine can be replaced with butter. If desired, the cooled cake can be topped with a chocolate glaze. We recommend preparing the cake a few days before Easter.
