Refined Sugar Free Christmas Cake Most Christmas cakes are packed full of gluten and refined sugar and contain hundreds and hundreds of grams of dried fruit. While I'm a big believer that Christmas cake shouldn't be sans fruit altogether, there is a way to make it low in sugar and of course, gluten free and refined sugar free.
Steps to make Natural Christmas Cake (Refined Carb-Free):
- Add the diced apricots and the water to a pan and simmer gently until the apricots have absorbed the water and nice and soft.
- Allow the apricots to cool then blend in a food processor until finely minced (or mince with a sharp knife if you don’t have a food processor).
- Put the rest of the dried fruit into a large mixing bowl. Add the zest and juice of the lemon and orange, stir really well and let the fruit soak up the juices.
- In the largest mixing bowl you have, whisk together the oil and minced apricot puree until it is as well combined as you can get it. Whisk in the eggs until all of the ingredients are combined.
- Sift in the flour and spice, mix gently to combine all of the dry ingredients into the wet egg mixture.
- Stir in the rest of your ingredients.
- Pour into an 8 inch cake tin lined with parchment paper. Tie a strip of parchment paper around the outside of your tin with string.
- Bake at 150°C for 3 hours, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
