I am trying to find a recipe for a Christmas cake like the ones seen in Health Food and Ditters Nuts shops.
They are almost entirely made of dried fruit, nuts and seeds with just a tiny amount of dough to hold the mix together.
I have searched in the Christmas and cake area but no luck so far.
Hope that someone can help with this one.
Thanks heaps, Rosie

Thanks JD That is close but without the chocolate. I had not thought af checking Tenina's site. Might look on Farfallinas as well.

That looks about right. I will have a try at converting it and making it tomorrow.

Wow that some serious fruit and nut. Looks really yum though.

Got it made and out of the oven okay. :D
Have to wait til it cools to sample the result, BUT IT LOOKS GOOD ;D
I will post the recipe as I converted and used it later.
It has a lot of 'Rosie' style improvisation from the original.
I am not sure if I will bother with more cherries on top.

Ready to go into the oven

Cooked and cooling. It is upside down in the pic.

Don't forget to post a picture when you cut it Rosie - would love to see what the inside looks like.

It is very dense. And I don't think I would bother with the extra cherries on top. It tastes perfect how it is.
The cake did not rise at all. If anything it sank a little. Probably because it settled in the pan even tho I had packed it down pretty firmly.
If I make it again I will use a smaller pan.
It was meant to be wrapped in foil and allowed to mature for 2->3 days before cutting.
No hope of that in this house.
It is very very yummy.
DH has commented that it may be a Christmas cake, But it is not going to be around that long :D :D :D :D

Thanks Cookie and JD. I am really pleased with it. But I think I may need to make another as it is shrinking fast. ;D :D ;D
Cookie, Is your recipe on the Forum? I would love to try it.
-
No, I have never made it with the TMX. Would you like me to pm it to you?

I made one by Annabel Langbein. Looks similar . Have converted it but not posted recipe will do so tomorrow. It is just dried fruit and nuts held together with a little flour and eggs,
