Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
• Fold in the chopped dried fruits.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Glaze
• In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and water until smooth.
• Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
• Let the glaze set before serving.

Tips

• You can use a combination of dried fruits such as raisins, cranberries, apricots, and dates for a variety of flavors.
• Make sure to chop the dried fruits into small pieces to distribute them evenly throughout the cake.
• If you prefer a stronger citrus flavor, you can add some lemon zest to the cake batter.
