Steps to make Christmas plum cake:

1. Cut the dates and cherries. Soak them in fruit juice(I've used store bought mixed fruit juice) with rasins and tutti frutti for minimum half an hour or overnight..
2. In a heavy bottomed pan, add sugar. Once sugar starts to melt lower flame and caramelize to get nice brown color(Do not burn the sugar). Add hot boiling water. (Move far while pouring as it splutters). Reduce this to get ½ cup sugar syrup. Keep aside to cool..
3. Separate the egg whites from the yolks in two different mixing bowls..
4. Beat the egg whites with an electric beater gradually increasing speed till fluffy and stiff peaks are formed. Add a pinch of salt while beating. Keep aside..
5. Now beat the egg yolks in a separate mixing bowl..
6. Powder sugar with 2 cloves and add to the egg yolks and beat in high speed till creamy..
7. 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..
8. Next add the ½ cup caramelized sugar syrup and continue beating..
9. 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..
10. 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..
11. Now take the beaten eggwhits and add it to cake batter in 3 batches. Fold gently with spatula as previous step..
12. Pour into a greased and dusted cake tray and top it with cashews..
13. Bake at 180°C in a preheated oven for 45 min placing in the middle rack. Check with toothpick. If it comes out clean the cake is done or keep for 10 more minutes..
