This Dried Fruit and Nut Layered Cake is a no-bake delight that combines layers of fine crushed crackers, a creamy filling made from sour cream and condensed milk, and a generous mixture of dried fruits and nuts. The combination of prunes, raisins, apricots, peanuts, and walnuts adds a wonderful contrast of textures and flavors. The sweetness from the dried fruit and the creaminess of the sour cream-condensed milk filling create a perfect balance in every bite.
This cake is not only delicious but also incredibly easy to prepare, requiring no baking and only minimal effort. It’s an excellent choice for a make-ahead dessert for family gatherings, potlucks, or celebrations. Plus, it’s a fantastic option for those who want to enjoy something sweet but prefer to avoid a more complicated recipe. The layers of crackers absorb the moisture from the filling and soften, creating a cake-like texture without any baking involved.
