HI ALL, this is my latest healthy creation of fruit cake which I can enjoy without feeling guilty. I used my favorite dried fruit and nuts but you can choose your own to suit your taste. All the fruit have natural sweetness so no need for sugar and I only used 100 ml olive oil so it is not so bad for a large cake like this one. I hope you enjoy it.
INGREDIENTS
- 400 g self raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground mix spice
- 100 g grated carrots
- 100 g prunes, chopped
- 100 g dried apricots, chopped
- 100 g mix dried fruit
- 100 ml good olive oil
- 50 g glazed cherries, halves
- 50 g sun flower seeds
- 3 eggs, whisked
- 3 tbsp orange juice
- 3 tbsp runny honey
METHOD
Grease and line a 25 cm cake tin. Sieve the flour together with baking powder and mix spice. Add carrots, all the fruit and seeds to the flour. Mix it well with a wooden spoon. Then add the eggs, oil and orange juice and honey and stir it together to form a soft dropping consistency. Spoon into the prepared tin and level the surface. Bake in a preheated oven, 180c, 160 fan, gas mark 4, for 45- 50 minutes or until the fine skewer comes out clean when inserted in the centre of the cake. Leave the cake to cool in the tin before turning out.
