      3 tb Cocoa powder
    1/2 ts Baking soda
      1 ts Baking powder
    1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 c  Water
    1/2 c  Brown sugar
    1/2 c  Cranberry juice

MMMMM-----------------------FRUITS & NUTS----------------------------
    1/2 c  Dried fruits; raisins,
           - dates, cherries, cranberry
           - raspberries
      3 tb Nuts; pecans/walnuts, cashew
           - almonds, pistachios

  First soak all dried fruits in 1/2 cup cranberry juice.

  Cover and keep aside for few minutes until we assemble all the
  ingredients to make cake.

  Take water in a microwave safe bowl and micro high for 1 minute
  until the water is hot.

  Mix hot water in previously soaked dried fruits and nuts and let it
  steep for few minutes.

  For mixing wet ingredients into soaked fruits, add honey and brown
  sugar to this.

  Next mix in oil. Stir well and keep aside.

  In the meantime, for mixing dry ingredients take all purpose
  flour or maida, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon
  powder in a bowl and mix well.

  Sieve or sift it twice.

  Now mix wet and dry ingredients together nicely with
  spatula and mix both well.

  Add curd (yoghurt) and mix it well again.

  Take a microwave safe bowl/tin, brush all side with oil.

  Place butter paper covering the bowl/tin for making cake.

  Pour the batter in until the half way.

  If required use 2 small bowls/tins. As the cake would need space to
  rise.

  Preheat the microwave for 1 minute.

  Place the bowl or tin inside the microwave and set the timer for
  5 minutes.

  Micro high the cake for 5 minutes and when it is done, leave it
  inside the hot microwave with a standing time of 5 minutes.

  Remove it from oven, and check with a toothpick inserted.

  If it comes out clean it's ready.

  Allow it to cool completely. Invert it on a plate, slice it and
  enjoy.

  Notes:

  Don't fill the microwave safe bowl to the brim. As the cake rises,
  just fill it half way. Or divide the batter in two bowls and
  microwave it.

  After you take the cake out of the microwave, allow the cake to
  cool completely before slicing it.
