Thank you to Christina Lee for submitting this delicious sounding Diabetic Fruit Cake which is also egg free! To make this dairy free as well, substitute the skim milk with soy milk or almond milk.
“I take this Diabetic Fruit Cake often to morning and afternoon teas and it is always popular! The dried fruit can be placed in a colander and boiling water poured over the fruit to remove any excess sugar.”
Method
-
Place fruit, milk, coffee and chocolate essence in a bowl.
