This is not your typical fruitcake. It's sugar free, dairy free, grain/gluten free, using ground almonds in place of flour, and is packed with dried prunes and pistachios. You can enjoy the cake soon after it's cool completely, but it is even better left for a day or two before slicing.
|
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Grease and line an 10cm x 21cm loaf pan with baking paper.
- Combine almond meal, spices baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir through dried prunes and pistachios.
- Whisk eggs, melted oil, vanilla powder, brandy and orange rind in a large jug until combined. Stir egg mixture through almond mixture. Spoon into prepared pan. Level top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Cool the cake in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn out the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

What a stunning looking fruit cake, Angie. Love how beautifully you have made it sugar-free and grain-free. Healthy and delicious share.
It looks amazing. I love fruit cake and your cake sounds great. Replacing sugar with dried fruits is a wonderful idea, it's something I like to do too. x
I love the look of those prunes. And the fact that this is sugar free, I'd like to try it.
Angie, I love that this fruit cake is sugar free, gluten free and dairy free and with all those aromatic spices and brandy - this most definitely is not taste free! Gorgeous cake!
I love that you used prunes - we just don't cook with them enough and they are so delicious. Love the pistachios too! It is a lovely cake Angie.
Loving this healthy and delicious cake, love prunes, would love to make this cake soon..
This looks so terrific! You've packed some amazing flavor into this. Wonderful recipe -- thanks!
Your posts reminds me that Christmas is nearing!!Would love to try!!
Wow that is too funny we were on the same wave length this week recipe wise. Really liking this cake and I do like prunes so bonus.
well this is just packed with good stuff! what a pretty and delicious and guilt-free loaf!
You had me at pistachios! What a colorful and fun cake!
It’s fruit cake season, my Father’s favorite time of the year. I like the addition of brandy and coconut oil, thanks for sharing Angie.

My kind of fruit cake! It looks wonderful, Angie!
I love fruits cakes ! Look amazing ANgie :) :)
Looks yumm .... i love fruit cakes
This looks like an awesome fruit cake. Also reminds me that I better start some soon. I love fruit cake!
The sugar free is definitely the catch! I am pinning this up, sounds like a really flavorful cake to enjoy guilt free...
Looks delicious! I love any fruitcake!
Hail its natural sweetness and hail to its fab outcome. Love the contrast of colours and tastes.
Angie, I like this free grain fruit cake very much. I must add this on my baking list for Christmas! :D
Fruit speckled and no suger...Looks so good Angie.
Wow awesome clicks
I am not a fan of the traditional, dried-fruit-packed fruit cake, it's just too sweet for my taste but this one looks wonderful...just the right amount of fruit and cake combination! I love that it's gluten free too. My dear Mom used to bake a fruitcake with a similar ratio of fruit to cake as your recipe (but with flour) but she also put grated coconut flakes into it. Boy was that delicious when you toasted it.

I love how this is packed with fruit! I'm sure I couldn't stop with just one slice :)
Angie, great minds think alike! I just this week wrote up my fruitcake for posting next Thursday. Like you, I don't put any of that phony, dyed "fruit" in it!
Lovely bake. I like anything with pistachios!
Oh wow, such a pretty cake, Angie! I absolutely adore the pistachios and brandy in here!! I could totally eat this for breakfast AND dessert! Cheers!

I love cakes and breads like this Angie, I make them to clear out my huge collection of dried fruits and nuts! Isn't almond meal the most amazing thing ever?
Very nice. A tasty change to the traditional fruitcake.
So many people are eating lower sugar these days making this a terrific holiday recipe for folks avoiding sugar, not to mention the rest of us!
Love anything made with almond meal, Angie. And it's so nice to see a fruitcake without all those sugary cherries! Great recipe!

I am a huge fan of almond flour and it's uses. Your cake Angie looks stunning and absolutely fits into this time of the year. I would love it with a hot cup of chocolate after dinner today.
Oh am I ever making this soon. I want cake so badly and have been singing "healthy, healthy, healthy" to myself after this year's weight gain. But now - I can have my cake and it, too!
The fruit, nuts and orange peel make this one outstanding, beautiful cake!
Mmmmmm ...se ve muy goloso y lindo con estos frutos,abrazos.

Really like the sound of this, I bet the fruit adds such a nice sweetness that you don't even miss the sugar.
Your fruit cake looks so good - a nice healthy take on traditional fruit cake that is way too sweet for me :)
This fruit cake would be perfect for our friend who is trying to eat gluten and sugar free…I'm sure he would like it.

The typical fruit cake has never interested me, it just appears to sweet. This however, sounds delicious!
Great recipe. I am going to pin it right away! Thanks for sharing.
Love sugar-free! the prunes are sweet enough, healthy and delish.
This amazing fruit cake is definitely 'guilt-free'. Best of all there is no sugar, unlike the normal fruit cake. Thanks Angie for sharing such a wonderful healthy fruit cake.
I will certainly bake this for Xmas! Thanks sweety!
I slept over this recipe of yours and now I have a question: What if I change the spices? I know it will change the taste but my question goes further: would cinnamon and cloves match all right with almond and pistacchios? What do you think? Big hugs
Oh I do like the sound of this Angie. Perfect for my calendar - thank you :)
@Pamela PalmaCinnamon and cloves sound great to me too.
@Angie SchneiderThank you for your answer Angie. I will give it a try then. I don't like to change ingredients in recipes without asking the creator! Big hug and have a great week
What a beautiful fruit cake,Angie! Wish I could have a slice right now. Love those large bits of fruit.
Looks so yum and sugar-free, a must try fruit cake
I know I'd be much happier with your lower sugar version of this holiday classic cake!
Sweetened only with fruit, this is my kind of cake.
We don't need the sugar with prunes and fruits in the cake. Now I want some coffee with the cake.
Hi Angie, this sugar-free fruit cake looks yummy. A healthier version means I could indulge without guilt. Hope to try it out this Christmas.
This is MY kind of fruitcake. Most recipes are far too sweet and full of candied fruit which I don't prefer. I love this recipe Angie! Festive AND healthy too!
Looks stunning and I love the sugar free part. This is the type of fruit cake I like a balance between fruit and cake ratio :D
