I’ve baked this Jamaican Christmas Cake in a regular oven several times, and each time it turned out flawlessly. I was interested to see how this cake would perform in the air fryer, however. I’m shocked at the result. It came out absolutely flawless!
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:
- Grease an 8-inch circular baking pan and reserve.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. - 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).
- 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.
- As the cake cools and solidifies, be sure to cool it fully. To serve, slice. Have fun!
