EASY PEASY HEALTHY FRUIT CAKE



Easy Peasy Healthy Fruit Cake image

This throw together" fruit cake might not cut the mustard against some of the more decadent fruit cakes, but is scrumptious nonetheless. I offer it to you as a perfect natural rescue remedy for any sugar cravings, or as a quick easy cake for those surprise guests who pop over for a cup of tea on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Most fruit cakes contain nuts, sugar and alcohol. This fruit-sweetened cake is nut-free and dairy free - good news for those of you with food allergies; and perfect for anyone wanting a healthier alternative to refined sugar-sweetened cakes. Fruit is sweet enough. The best thing about this cake - it is unbelievably moist. I have used rice and potato flours to make this cake easy and affordable. But it works really well with a buckwheat, tapioca, rice flour mix as well.Try to purchase mango tinned in natural fruit juice instead of sugar syrup. This mildly flavoured cake hits a sweet spot without making you sick.

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 3h30m

Yield Serves 14-16

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tbsp rum or brandy
1 orange , zested and juiced
600g mixed dried fruit (sultanas, raisins, apricots, cherries, cranberries)
200g butter , very soft
200g golden caster sugar
4 eggs
50g ground almonds
200g plain flour
100g pecan nuts or whole skinned almonds, chopped
100g candied peel , chopped
75g crystallised or candied ginger , chopped
apricot jam (warmed and sieved) or apricot glaze
candied pineapple , candied angelica, glacé cherries (a mixture of red, green and yellow if you can find them), crystallised ginger

Steps:

  • Put the rum (or brandy), orange zest and juice and mixed dried fruit in a bowl and stir. Leave to soak overnight.
  • Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3½. Double line a 20cm tin with baking parchment. Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Whisk in the eggs one by one, then fold in the almonds and flour. Add a pinch of salt and fold in the soaked fruit mixture (and any remaining liquid in the bowl), along with the nuts, candied peel and ginger. Spoon the mixture into the tin and level the surface.
  • Bake for 1 hr, then turn the oven down to 150C/130C fan/gas 2 and bake for a further 2 hrs. Check the cake to see if it's pulling away from the sides of the tin and feels firm on top. If you need to, keep cooking for a further 15 mins. Cool in the tin. If storing in the tin, wrap the cake tightly first. Will freeze for up to two months.
  • To decorate, brush the cake with the apricot jam (or glaze) and arrange your choice of candied fruit on top. Will keep in a sealed container for up to three weeks.
