LOW FAT GLUTEN FREE FRUIT & NUT CAKE

Although this fruit & nut cake is gluten free, it tastes great and my family love it. Gluten free cakes and bread can be very dry but I think I have addressed this problem. The cake is moist.

The only fat is in the egg and the milk - I use lactose free as I have an intolerance to milk but once again any milk can be used. Enjoy!!!!

2lb loaf tin

Preheat the oven to Gas mark 6

INGREDIENTS

12oz fruit - I used sultanas

2oz walnut pieces

7oz gluten free self raising flour - any self raising will do

2tsp gluten free baking powder

7oz boiling tea

9tsp canderell or other sugar substitute

1 egg

2oz milk

METHOD

Add the sultanas and canderell to the boiling tea a set on one side for a moment

Sieve together the flour & baking powder and place in a bowl

Add the sultanas and canderell mix to the flour as well as the egg. Mix well and then add the wallnuts and milk. Pour into the loaf tin.

Cook for 45 - 50 mins until nicely brown and a skewer comes out clean. Place the cake on a cooling rack and cut yourself a lovely slice...while you can.
