This rich, dark vegan fruit cake is jam-packed with dried fruit and booze (although still delicious made alcohol-free). It's so flavourful and there is no overnight soaking of fruit involved!
Make it now and feed it a couple of times before Christmas. Like a fine wine it gets better and better as it matures. Believe it or not it will keep for up to 4 months or 1 year if you freeze it.
Keep the decorations simple and rustic, or cover it in marzipan and fondant icing. Perfect for enjoying at Christmas but also makes a fantastic vegan wedding cake.
If you've never made a fruit cake like this before I recommend you read my entire post and the recipe before attempting to make this. I've included as much helpful information as I can so you can get the very best results.
Gluten-Free? You'll be pleased to know I've tested this recipe with Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour and it works just fine!
