I had my doubt but I am convinced by the outcome. This is a fruitcake you can make on a whim. The result is plump fruits and moist cake without being damp. This recipe has no added sugar so the cake tastes naturally sweet without making your dentist frown.
3-Ingredient Christmas Fruit Cake
Ingredients375 g dried fruits
600 ml liquid (chocolate milk, coffee, tea, juice, Bailey, Rum)*
2 cups of self-raising gluten free flour** (with 1/2 tsp xanthan gum added)
Soak the fruits with your choice of liquid the night before, up to 48 hours.
Grease and line a 20x20cm tin. Preheat the oven to 180C.
Put the flour in a large bowl and add in the soaked fruits (juice and all). Stir until no dried pockets of flour is seen.
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 35-40 mins until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Cool the cake completely before slicing.
*Although popular, I don't recommend 100% alcohol as it would be too strong. I added 100ml Bailey to my liquid mix. The Bailey flavor is prominent after baking and I like the result.
**If you don't have self-raising flour, add 3 tsps of baking powder and 1/2 tsp baking soda to the flour.
