Ingredients

1 pound dried mixed fruits (raisins, cherries, cranberries, prunes, mixed peel, dates)
2 cups red grape juice
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup non-dairy butter (I used Earth Balance)
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 grated lemon or orange zest
2 cups all purpose gluten-free flour
2 cups almond flour
1 cup cane sugar
2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Spray an 8-inch round baking pan and set it aside.
Place grape juice and dried fruits in a large saucepan on medium heat and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Allow fruits to cool.
Place 1 ½ cups of the fruits and remaining liquid in a blender or food processor and puree. Pour in a medium bowl, add molasses, softened butter, almond extract, vanilla, and lemon zest, mix well.
Combine gluten-free flour, almond flour, sugar, ground flaxseeds, baking powder, allspice, and salt in a large bowl.
Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients and stir well to combine. Add remaining dried fruits and stir.
Pour batter into a prepared round baking pan. Cover the baking pan with foil paper (I usually cover with a layer of parchment first, then the foil).
Air Fry for 60 minutes, remove the cover and air fry for 20 minutes, or when a fork is inserted in the center, it comes out clean.
Cool the cake completely as the cake firms up as it cools. Slice to serve. Enjoy!
