There might not have been enough moist ingredeints (oil, milk, water, eggs, ect.) in the batter. Dried fruits will absorb moisture during cooking, and most moisture is convereted into steam until the cake is cooked.

To make 15 ounces of cooked lentils, you'll need about 5 ounces of dry lentils. Lentils roughly triple in weight when cooked, so for every ounce of dry lentils, you can expect to yield about three ounces of cooked lentils. Therefore, starting with 5 ounces of dry lentils should give you the desired 15 ounces when cooked.
