In Somalia, this was the closest thing we had to a fruitcake. Raisins were always special and were reserved for decorating and topping the festive rice as well adding to cakes. Apart from this cake, the only other cake we remember that had fruits was Panettone, which was sold in an Italian specialty store in Mogadishu.
We posted the recipe for a pound cake last month, but this recipe is different in many respects. First, we avoided using vanilla in this recipe because a segment of our viewers had concerns about the alcohol content in vanilla. We used cardamom instead, and that is what was traditionally used in Somalia when baking cakes and cookies. The second thing we wanted to address was to reduce the fat content of the cake without compromising its taste and moistness. We achieved this by replacing part of the butter with yoghurt.
The third issue has nothing to do with the ingredients. Some of our viewers have told us that they don’t have fancy mixers and were therefore unable to make the pound cake in the previous post. We decided not to use any mixer for this recipe. We made this cake twice, once using a whisk to mix the ingredients, while the second time we mixed everything by hand. Kitchen gadgets make life easier but they are definitely not a must.
Ingredients:
(Tbsp is a tablespoon; tsp is a teaspoon)
(1 cup = 237 mL = 2.4 dl; 1 Tbsp = 15 mL; 1 tsp = 5 mL); all are level measurements
Butter & Yoghurt Cake:
- 1⅔ cups (333 g) Granulated white sugar
- 1⅓ cups (333 mL) Unsalted butter (softened)
- 5 Large Eggs
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) Cardamom (ground)
- ¼ tsp (1.25 mL) Salt – Optional
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) Baking powder
- 3 cups (420 g) All-purpose (plain) flour
- 1½ cups (275 g) Yogurt – Any type
- ½ tsp (2.5 mL) Butter – For greasing the sides of the cake pan
- 1 cup (150 g) Raisins
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) Flour – For coating the raisins
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C.
- Sift the flour.
- Cream the butter and sugar for 5 minutes with a mixer or 10 minutes if mixing by hand.
- Add the eggs one at a time and mix thoroughly.
- When the mixture becomes consistent, add the baking powder, yoghurt and mix well. Then add the cardamom and salt (if using).
- Add the flour and mix well until the batter becomes homogenous. Coat the raisins, if using, with flour and add them.
- Grease a 16″x4″x4″ pan or two 8½”x4½” pans. If using parchment paper just grease the ends of the pan with the butter.
- Bake at 350°F/177°C for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the cake springs back.
- Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

En Somalie, ce gâteau est ce qui ressemble le plus à un cake aux fruits secs. Les raisins secs étaient considérés comme un mets spécial et étaient réservés pour la décoration et pour mettre sur le riz de fête ainsi que dans les gâteaux. A part ce gâteau, le seul gâteau qui contenait des fruits dont nous puissions nous rappeler était le Panettone, qui était vendu dans un magasin de spécialités italiennes à Mogadishu.
Nous avons publié la recette du quatre-quarts le mois dernier, mais cette recette est différente dans pas mal d’aspects. D’abord, nous avons laissé de côté la vanille parce qu’une partie de nos lecteurs s’inquiétait de la présence d’alcool dans la vanille. Nous avons utilisé de la cardamome à la place, c’est ce qui est traditionnellement utilisé en Somalie pour faire les gâteaux et les biscuits. La seconde chose sur laquelle nous avons travaillé est de réduire la teneur en matières grasses du gâteau sans compromettre son goût et son moelleux. Nous avons réussi à la faire en remplaçant le beurre par du yaourt.
Le troisième problème n’avait rien à voir avec les ingrédients. Certains de nos lecteurs nous ont dit qu’ils n’avaient pas de robot sophistiqué et n’étaient pas en mesure de faire le quatre-quarts de notre post précédent. Nous avons décidé de ne pas utiliser de mixer pour cette recette. Nous avons fait le gâteau deux fois, une première fois en utilisant un fouet pour mélanger les ingrédients, et la deuxième fois nous avons mélangé à la main. Les gadgets pour cuisiner nous rendent la vie plus facile mais ils ne sont pas indispensables.

Salaam sis and bro, did you make 2 cakes out of the batter the first one you didn’t add raisin and the second one you add raisin??
We made this cake twice. Once with raisins, and the second time without.
If you are using two pans you can make one of them with raisins.
asc w w i normally buy panettone but i`m sure home made will test much better and save money. once i tried with plums fruit it was nice but wet do u think it needs flour for coating like u did with the raisin? thanks for ur time
Wacalaykum Assalaam Warahmatullaahi Wabarakaatuhu,
The flour is added to the raisins so they don’t all settle at the bottom of the cake. Any small bits of fruit can also be added this way. Thanks for the question.

Thank you so much for your compliment and thank you for being a fan. We are very happy to know that you enjoy the recipes.
As mentioned in the recipe, you would need 3 cups or 420 g all-purpose flour. The cups we use are 237 mL.

Assalamu alaikum. Barakallahu feekum for taking the time to share your wonderful, foolproof recipes. From your website, I have been able to cook perfect somali dishes which I have recieved so much compliments for and have always stated to anyone that asked about the secret behind my unexpected success in cooking, elbaraka fi xawaash.com!
I would like to have a go at making this cake but wanted to confirm: you have the measurement of sugar as 1⅔ x 237ml cups which you said is 533g. According to what little knowledge I have of measurements, 1⅔ x cups of sugar = 333g and 533g = 2⅔ x cups. Am I wrong?
Many thanks.
Wa’alaikum As-salaam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
No, you are not wrong. We made a mistake 1 1/3 cup is 333 g. Thank you for pointing it out. We are happy that Xawaash has been beneficial for you. We wish you all the best.
Asselamu Aleykum
Can I use Margarine instead of Unsalted Butter?
Please can you tell me the difference b/n margarine and butter?
Wa’alaikum As-salam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Yes, you can substitute margarine for butter. Make sure it is a baking or cooking margarine and not a spread. The spreads contain a lot of water. Margarine is made from hydrogenated (hardened) vegetable oils, while Butter is made from animal fat. Butter contains saturated fat, while margarine contains trans fats.
