Рецепт Sugarless Fruit Cake
I made a sugarless cake a few months which got rave reviews by my readers for its simplicity and speed. Some even experimented and converted the cake to a fruit cake/ black cake by adding soaked fruits. When I first tried this cake, I simply loved it and made a vow to try it during Christmas. This time I included our favourite, Cherry Brandy that we normally use to soak our fruits. Of course you can add any type of alcohol to your liking to make it a bit stronger but we decided to use cherry brandy, which is a bit more mellow and certainly PG 13. At least the children could enjoy some fruit cake as well.
Now, this is a simple cake. There is no burning of sugar to make the browning. (What a relief! Some people tend to burn the sugar a little to much; making the cake a bit bitter.) However, if you wish, you may soak your fruits a few days before or overnight. You can also blend the fruits if you like as well. The rest of the preparation happens in as little as 15 to 20 minutes.
So without much delay, here is another healthy cake option. Enjoy our version of sugarless fruit cake.
