I’m going to share this amazing air fryer fruit cake recipe with you since I know a lot of you are probably searching for a fast fix cake recipe.

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

Guidelines:

  1. Grease an 8-inch circular baking pan and reserve.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the grape juice and dried fruits; bring to a boil. For ten minutes, simmer over low heat. Let the fruits cool.
  3. In a food processor or blender, combine the remaining liquid and 1 ½ cups of the fruits, then purée. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl, then thoroughly combine with molasses, softened butter, vanilla, almond essence, and lemon zest.
  4. In a big basin, mix together almond flour, gluten-free flour, sugar, powdered flaxseeds, baking powder, allspice, and salt.
    Stir well to fully incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ones. Stir in the remaining dry fruits.
  5. Fill a circular baking pan that has been prepared with batter. Put foil paper on the baking sheet (I normally start with a layer of parchment and work my way down to the foil).
  6. 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.
  7. As the cake cools and solidifies, be sure to cool it fully. To serve, slice. Have fun!
