Comment préparer Moist Christmas Cake No Added Sugar Or Fat
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 20cm square cake tin. Line the base and sides with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 200g mixed dried fruit (sultanas, raisins, currants), 100g chopped dried apricots, 200g undrained crushed pineapple, 100ml orange juice, and 1 teaspoon mixed spice.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Cover and let the fruit mixture cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Gently stir this into the cooled fruit mixture.
- In a clean, large bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the fruit mixture into the whipped egg whites. Gradually fold in 200g self-raising flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too much, loosely cover with foil.
- Let the cake cool completely in the tin before removing.
- For a festive touch, decorate the cooled cake with glace cherries and a few slivered almonds (use sparingly, as nuts are high in fat).
- **Alternative Fruit Options:** Replace the pineapple with 175ml water and 200g pumpkin puree, or 175ml water and 200g pureed dried apricots. Add the pumpkin or apricot puree after the fruit mixture has cooled.
