The Best Fruit Cake Recipe
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons fat-free egg substitute
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped dried pineapple
1 cup dried apricot halves (leave whole)
1/2 cup dark raisins, or 1/2 cup whole pitted dates, cut in half lengthwise
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dried cranberries or dried pitted cherries
Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and ginger, and stir to mix well. Add the honey, egg substitute, and vanilla extract, and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in the fruit.
2. Coat two 5 3/4-x-3 1/4-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the batter evenly between the pans, and bake at 325°F for about 45 minutes, or just until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean.
3. Remove the bread from the oven, and let sit for 10 minutes. Invert the loaves onto a wire rack, turn right side up, and cool to room temperature. Wrap in aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight before slicing.
