You will also need:
Zest or juice of 1 orange
3 tablespoons olive oil 🌱
3 eggs or 50g of milled linseed for vegan option 🌱
½ a vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌱
Method
- Preheat oven to 150 °C.
- Line the sides and base of an 18cm round cake tin with baking paper.
- Combine roughly chopped dried fruit, seeds from vanilla bean, orange zest & juice, olive oil (and beaten eggs or flax seeds if required).
- Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix through. You may need to add a little water at this point (particularly if using linseed).
- Spoon the Christmas cake mix into your baking tin.
- Bake for 90 minutes.
- Check with a skewer to see if it comes out clean – if not, bake for another 30 minutes. Cover the top if necessary to prevent over-browning.
- Cool, then remove cake from tin and decorate.
- Store in an airtight container, in the fridge for up to 1 month.
