From: viv@higgs.ph.unimelb.edu.au (Viviane Buzzi) Date: 9 Feb 1994 20:59:18 -0500 I got this Recipes for a healthy but luscious Pritiken style fruit cake from a cooking program here in Australia, run by a French chef called Gabriel Gate`. It is a very luscious and moist cake and is beautiful eaten for breakfast or for dessert with ice cream or cream...or yogurt. I highly recommend it...even to those who refuse to eat anything that sounds so healthy!! Place dried fruit into a saucepan, cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, covered, and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Put liquid from fruit into a blender with 10 apricots from the pan and the banana. Puree` and transfer to a bowl. Add the orange zest and cinnamon. Sift the flour with the baking powder. Stir in the flour and almond meal to the liquid mixture until the batter is smooth. Fold in the dried fruit. Place in a greased loaf tin and smooth the top flat. Place into a preheated 180C/350ºF. oven and bake for about 40 minutes. Let cool in tin for 5 minutes. Invert and serve cold. NB: If you wish you could even add 1 tablespoon of rum or marsala to the liquid mixture....marsala is especially lovely with this cake.
