I stole this one from the internet, not tried it myself but it sounds good.

Fat & Sugar Free Fruit Cake

12 oz Mixed dried fruit (i vary this depending on whats in the cupboard)
1 mug of hot strong black tea

Put the fruit in a bowl, pour over the hot tea & leave for a few hours or overnight.

to the fruit mixture add

1 large egg
1 teasp Bicarbonate of soda
8 oz SR flour
1 oz Candarel powdered sweetener

fold these into the fruit, pour into a greased & lined loaf tin. Cook for 45-60 mins at 180, or until a skewer comes out clean.

I as an RNYer can eat this, so does my Dad who's Diabetic, it uses candarel or the equivalent shops own powdered sweetener.

It is really nice, sort of an adaptation of a Bara Brith Recipe, it was trial & error, but the same cake with sugar uses 8 oz of soft light brown sugar.

It is honestly impossible to tell it is sugar & fat (apart from the egg & butter to grease tin) free!!

i have given this recipe to several diabetic friends who regularly make it.

Enjoy!!

ps, really nice with butter on it but that kinda defeats the point!!

I don't cook! BUT I make two of these a week - my hubby loves it! (I don't like the fruit so don't eat it - need a fruit-free versio for me!!)

I add chopped cherries & nuts to it & that is lovely (apparently!)

Give it a go - everyone will love it. So easy to do & keeps for ages as it's really moist.
