EASY PEASY HEALTHY FRUIT CAKE
This throw together" fruit cake might not cut the mustard against some of the more decadent fruit cakes, but is scrumptious nonetheless. I offer it to you as a perfect natural rescue remedy for any sugar cravings, or as a quick easy cake for those surprise guests who pop over for a cup of tea on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Most fruit cakes contain nuts, sugar and alcohol. This fruit-sweetened cake is nut-free and dairy free - good news for those of you with food allergies; and perfect for anyone wanting a healthier alternative to refined sugar-sweetened cakes. Fruit is sweet enough. The best thing about this cake - it is unbelievably moist. I have used rice and potato flours to make this cake easy and affordable. But it works really well with a buckwheat, tapioca, rice flour mix as well.Try to purchase mango tinned in natural fruit juice instead of sugar syrup. This mildly flavoured cake hits a sweet spot without making you sick.
