How to Make Gluten And Sugar Free Christmas Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour (or grease and line with parchment paper) a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar substitutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped nuts, dried cranberries, and candied peel.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, you can frost your cake with your favorite sugar-free frosting or glaze. Enjoy!
