Christmas Fruit Cake Recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
100g glazed cherries
60g dates
100g apricots
40g cranberries
450g mixed dried fruit (sultanas/raisins)
150g fresh orange juice
300ml water
100ml cooking alcohol (rum/ whisky or you could use orange juice if you don’t want to use alcohol)
100g vegan butter/margarine (plus extra to use for sticking the parchment to the cake tin)
200g dark brown sugar (I like to use half soft brown sugar and half molasses)
1tsp baking soda
Egg replacer equal to 2 eggs
400g of whole-wheat or wholemeal flour
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ginger
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp mixed spice
The zest of a lemon and orange

8”/20cm square cake tin
Parchment/ baking paper
METHOD:
1. Put all your fruit - 100g glazed cherries, 60g dates, 100g apricots, 40g cranberries, 450g mixed dried fruit (sultanas/raisins), (roughly chop the bigger fruit) in a large cooking pot.
2. Add to the cooking pot of dried fruit - 200ml hot water (boiled in kettle), 100ml alcohol and 150ml of fresh orange juice.
3. Soak for 24 hours.
4. The next day – add 100g vegan butter, 100ml water, 200g brown sugar and 1 tsp baking soda to the pot of soaked fruit.
5. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 10mins.
6. Cool for 1-2 hours. Then add the egg replacer equal to 2 eggs.
7. Pre heat oven to 140 degrees and line baking pan (square 8” pan) with parchment paper.
8. In a large bowl put in your dry ingredients – 400g wholemeal flour, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp cocoa powder, 2 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp ginger, ½ tsp nutmeg, ½ tsp mixed spice, and mix together.
9. Add the zest of a lemon and orange to the dry ingredients in the bowl, then mix this into the pot of wet ingredients, MIX WELL.
10. You are now ready to put your cake mix into the cake tin and smooth out.
11. Pop your cake in the oven with a sheet of parchment placed on top with a hole cut out of the centre – this stops the cake burning but still lets the moisture out.
12. Bake at 140 degrees for 1 hours, then turn your oven down to 120 degrees and bake for another 2 ½ hours. Finally turn off your oven and leave your cake for another 20mins in the remaining heat.
13. Remove cake from oven, cake tin and remove parchment.
14. Leave to cool and wrap in parchment overnight.
15. When completely cool, store in Tupper wear until you are ready to decorate.
