    I am not sure why fruit cakes have a bad rap. They used to be a treat we would wait for around Christmas. Soft, Sweet, full of fun stuff for us kids I guess. Maybe we just lucked out with a fabulous bakery. 🙂

    I make versions of my Spelt spiced fruit cake if not baking a load of cookies every year. This version is adapted from spelt flour version. I use almond flour and rice flour to keep it gluten-free. The cake keeps well refrigerated for a few weeks if you use liquor or a week with orange juice. Serve as is or with a bourbon/rum glaze! Add nuts or seeds that you like, some dates, apricots, cherries. I also added some roasted sunflower seeds and chia seeds, so the cake is also great to snack on.

    Vegan Gluten free Christmas Cake Fruit Cake full of nuts, dried fruits, dates, seeds, candied ginger. Soft, Flavorful and great for gifting. Vegan Soyfree Recipe.

    Servings: 10
    Calories: 231kcal
    Author: Vegan Richa

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup (236.59 ml) orange juice or a combination with liquor (upto half cup of rum, brandy, whiskey or a mix)
    • 1.25 to 1.5 cups (180 g) dried fruits and nuts (I use pecans, cashews, walnuts, roasted sunflower seeds, candied ginger, currants, chopped dates, candied orange peel, cherries/apricots etc)
    • 1 tbsp chia seeds (not optional as they help thicken the leftover orange juice. You an use 1.5 tbsp flax seed meal as a sub)
    • 1/4 to 1/3 cup (55 g) light brown sugar
    • 2 tbsp oil (I use organic safflower)
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup (80 g) white rice flour
    • 3/4 cup (84 g) almond flour
    • 1/4 cup (40 g) potato starch
    • 1.5 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) citric acid , optional **
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) salt
    • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

    Instructions

    • Add juice, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, and chia seeds to a bowl and mix. Let sit refrigerated for a few hours to overnight.
    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Line a loaf pan with parchment or grease it. 
    • Take the juice bowl out from the fridge. Add sugar, oil and vanilla to the bowl and mix in until sugar is combined. In another bowl, add the dry ingredients and whisk. (You can omit the citric acid from the dry. I like the air it adds to gluten-free baked goods. See my glutenfree cinnamon roll bread post for details about the use of citric acid) 
    • Combine the dry and wet and mix to make a batter. Drop in parchment lined pan.
    • Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes. Check with a toothpick from the center of the cake. it should come out almost clean. Bake longer if needed. 
    • Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan. Cool completely before slicing (cool lightly covered by a towel). Store on the counter covered for upto 2 days, refrigerate for upto 10, freeze for upto 2 months. If using liquor, you can store the cake on the counter and refrigerator for longer. 

    Notes

    Glaze options: You can glaze this cake with some fruit preserves heated up and mixed with rum or bourbon. Or heat 2 tbsp vegan butter, 4 tbsp sugar and 2 tbsp liquor until sugar dissolves to make a smooth glaze.
     
    Make this with regular flour, use 1.25 to 1.5 cups of spelt flour or a mix of whole wheat and all purpose. or use my spiced fruit cake recipe
     
    ** See Citric acid use above in the post. To sub, just omit it and add a tbsp more almond flour. 
    You can also use whipped aquafaba. Whip 3 tbsp aquafaba until soft peaks and fold into the batter just before baking, Use 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp orange juice instead of 1 whole cup in the batter.

            You can use a preferred gluten-free baking mix, and omit the baking powder from the recipe if this is included in the blend.

      A lot fruit cake recipes have you brush the top with rum or brandy every few days. Is this something you can do with this cake, or will it make it wet and crumbly?

      Hello Richa
      Thank you for this recipe. I’ve made it a few times now as friends have demanded it even though they’re not vegan.
      Recently, I doubled the ingredients, but kept the brown sugar the same, soaked the fruit in orange juice and used spelt flour. I poured the mixture into a 10” cake tin and baked for an hour.
      My non-vegan diabetic family loved it.
      Victory 🙂

      On the fruit cake above can you use the Bob’s red mill 1 to 1 baking flour instead of rice and almond? Does the rice and almond flour make it have that gritty sandy texture or taste that some of these flours have? Can you use oatmeal flour with xanthan gum? How much xanthan gum if so on the oatmeal flour? Thank you. Making these tomorrow ..soaking fruit today.

      This fruit cake was awesome! I adjusted flour by using Bobs Red Mill GF 1 to 1 Baking Flour for the rice flour and potato starch because it’s basically the same thing and I still used almond flour per the recipe.

      Another adjustment I did instead of citric acid, which was optional, I reduced the baking powder to 1 teaspoon and added 1 teaspoon of baking soda along with a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the batter, to react with the soda and help it rise.

      I did use coconut sugar instead of light brown sugar. All in all, I think these adjustments worked very well here. Thank you for a wonderful recipe. I’m really happy to have found this.

      I have made this recipe 3 times substituting arrowroot flour for the potato starch (only because I can’t buy it). The last 2 times I have doubled the mixture because I am trying to perfect it for when it will be the Christmas cake. The last time I soaked the chia seeds separately in 1/2 cup of water overnight- I didn’t have orange juice otherwise I would have used that. The next day, the day of baking, I mixed them into the fruit mixture that had soaked in orange juice for a few hours then followed the recipe. The cake is light and fluffy for g.f – I can’t believe it. I think this is a really good recipe- the cake is moist as well – often g.f. cakes are dry especially the next day after baking.

            Citric acid is for adding some air in the batter before baking. this allows for moisture to stay in the batter rather than evaporate which it does more quickly with gluten-free baking. It does add a slight citrusy flavor but thats complimentary to the overall flavors in the cake. The main reason though is for lightening up the batter before baking

        bobs gf blend has a lot of rice flour that dries out while baking. I havent had success with just the blend. You can use half of bobs gf blend and half almond flour as almond flour will add moisture and keep it from drying out.

      I just made this recipe and it baked really well. Sadly, it is sticking to the bottom of my loaf pan and only partially came out of my pan, which is very disappointing. I did grease the pan. I probably should of used parchment paper. Next year!

        oh no. i always line the pans with parchment. sometimes the pans lose some of the non stikness with age and some batters tend to stick a bit more than other batters, so i always line the pan. hope it tasted great otherwise

          I will definitely be using parchment next time. My fruit and nut mix was heavy on the fruit side, so I think that contributed to sticking. I did freeze the cake for a bit and it helped release a bit more to make it salvageable for Christmas. Despite the problem, the cake tastes amazing. Just how the fruit cakes of my youth, tasted. I will be making this again. Thank you!

      I tried this yesterday’s & the flavor is amazing, but mine didn’t slice well-crumbled after well cooked. I followed you recipe to a T-should the chia have been ground? I used a silicone loaf pan. I will try again because it was scrumptious even if crumbly!

        Try refrigerating it for half an hour and use a serrated knife. It is a pretty sturdy loaf. The edges might be crustier to penetrate, so chilling and a very sharp knife or a serrated knife is helpful to help with easy slicing.

            use a really sharp knife to cut through. It should be too crumbly. You can add a sugar icing. That will help moisten the crumb and also hold it together while slicing.

      Looks delicious ! If using regular flour , can we substitute Einkorn flour for spelt flour?

      I’m going to try a pre-mixed gluten-free flour with some almond flour. My guys have been asking for something like the extremely decadent poppy seed cake we used to get for Christmas morning. Thank you for sharing your inspiring recipes! It always brightens my day when I see one in my inbox.

      Thank you Richa. Can’t wait to try this as written. I might also try another loaf with say Bob’s Red Mill GF Flour to regular Flour mix…

      I like its light on the sugar!

      Wow thank you so much for this recipe! I was wondering…..can I leave out the sugar? And could another starch be used other than potato? corn (non-gmo of course)? …otherwise I can eat everything in this cake….thank you so much!

        I havent tried it with corn, but it might work. You can leave out the sugar if you have enough balance of dates, currants, etc dried sweet fruit. Chop the dates small for good distribution of sweetness.

        I have tried different flour combinations before if you see my gluten-free baking category with oat and rice flour combination. Almond flour makes the best texture and moisture so far. You can use oat flour + rice flour + some sunflower seed meal+ more starch and add a 1/2 tsp xanthan gum and make it. Make a thicker batter than pictured, and bake a muffin to see if it bakes well before baking a loaf. If the muffin falls a bit after baking, you can add a bit more flour to the batter and adjust before baking the loaf. You also want to cover the loaf with a kitchen towel while cooling as rice and oat flours loose moisture quickly.

      Dear Richa
      I would love to test this receipe but I never use Rice flour. Would it be possible with buckwheat instead?
      Thank you 😉

      This makes me so happy! As a child (and pre-vegan days as an adult) I used to look forward to receiving my grandmother’s fruitcake every year. She is no longer with us, but the nostalgia is still there. Thank you for sharing this, it will be wonderful to be able to continue her traditions with something everyone can enjoy!

        Thank you. My grandma used to get us the cake from a bakery near her home run by a friend. A small homely shop with all home baked fabulous options. Those are some special memories.
