Notes

You can add pecans or walnuts or almonds instead of Hazelnuts.
You can also bake the cake without hazelnuts and cherries.
I have used jaggery powder, you can also use any good quality brown sugar or raw sugar(coconut /palm sugar, raw cane sugar).
Let the cake cool completely and then cut it.
If you you do not like the idea of using too many eggs in the recipe as many times some people smell eggs in cake, add 1/4 cup orange juice or freshly grated orange zest.
