Ingredients
- 1 pound dried mixed fruits, (raisins, cherries, cranberries, prunes, mixed peel, dates)
- 2 cups red grape juice
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1/2 cup non-dairy butter, (I used Earth Balance)
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 grated lemon, or orange zest
- 2 cups all purpose gluten-free flour
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup cane sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Spray an 8-inch round baking pan and set it aside.
- Place grape juice and dried fruits in a large saucepan on medium heat and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Allow fruits to cool.
- Place 1 ½ cups of the fruits and remaining liquid in a blender or food processor and puree. Pour in a medium bowl, add molasses, softened butter, almond extract, vanilla, and lemon zest, mix well.
- Combine gluten-free flour, almond flour, sugar, ground flaxseeds, baking powder, allspice, and salt in a large bowl.
- Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients and stir well to combine. Add remaining dried fruits and stir.
- Pour batter into a prepared round baking pan. Cover the baking pan with foil paper (I usually cover with a layer of parchment first, then the foil).
- Air Fry for 60 minutes, remove the cover and air fry for 20 minutes, or when a fork is inserted in the center, it comes out clean.
- Cool the cake completely as the cake firms up as it cools. Slice to serve. Enjoy!
