Soak the raisins and apricots in orange juice for 2 hours.
Beat the butter and brown sugar for 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time and mix.
Combine the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
Fold the drained dried fruit and walnuts into the batter.
Bake the cake at 165°C for 70 minutes.
Cool completely, then slice thinly.
💡 Tip: Soaking the dried fruit in orange juice keeps the cake moist; drain off excess liquid before adding the fruit to the batter.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice torta negra galesa thinly and serve with unsweetened tea, Turkish coffee, or optional orange zest.
