Christmas brings out the best in everyone and everything.  Excitement, kindness, spirituality and we must not forget that people become decorating geniuses.

Another huge factor for the season is the food.

Everyone’s best recipes come out this time of year and seasonal treats are baked for ourselves and for others.  A winter must-have is fruitcake.

Not the dried and hard fruitcake from ages past but the best fruity sweet concoction that you will be proud to serve.  This Amazing Bundt Cake Fruitcake has all of those qualities and more.

Six fruits are used in this recipe and pecans are added too.  There are some really nice and healthy ingredients inside the recipe too.  You must check it out.

The smaller 6 cup bundt pan is used for this recipe.  The fruitcake stands taller and looks really pretty.  The slices are usually smaller anyway because fruitcake is so rich that you don’t need much.  There are 14 generous slices.

The smaller size for this Amazing Bundt Cake Fruitcake is also handy because it makes fantastic holiday gifts.  You could add a little card with the recipe printed on it too but one thing for sure.  Make extra copies of the recipe because people will be asking for it.

Another fruity Christmas recipe is a healthier cookie is Dairy-Free Oatmeal Cranberry Cookie.  Besides cranberries there are lots of other flavorful and fiber full ingredients.

These cookies are super!  Place them on a plate next to your beautiful fruitcake and eyes will sparkle.

I don’t know if you ever noticed that there is kind of a competition out there in the world about who makes the best fruitcake.

Once I even got cornered by a lady, right in front of mom, and she pretty much demanded that I say which fruitcake was best.

Hers or moms.  I just couldn’t say because I actually really liked moms best and I think this lady would have taken my head off.

Well, now is your chance to win the ultimate contest.  This recipe really is the best one.

Ingredients

  • 3 oranges
  • 1/4 cup cranberry juice
  • 1/2 cup Dried Cranberries
  • 1/2 cup Golden Raisins
  • 1 cup Pitted Dates, chopped smaller
  • 1 cup Dried Pineapple, chopped smaller
  • 1 cup chopped Pecans
  • 2 tablespoons Flax Seed Meal and 6 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup apple jelly

Instructions

  1. What a beautiful bunch of ingredients.
  2. I used the smaller Bundt Pan (it measures 6 cups) because I wanted a taller cake. Mine came from Target and there are many colors to choose from. The cake turned out beautiful and you can slice thinner slices.
  3. You can certainly use any bundt pan that you have - A larger size will turn out lower height but it will still be really pretty.
  4. Oil the bundt pan - I used coconut oil.
  5. Mix the flax seed meal and water together and set aside so that it can gel. It only takes a few minutes.
  6. Squeeze all of the juice from the oranges to get close to 1/2 cup of juice. It can be a bit under 1/2 cup but you need more than 1/4 cup.
  7. In a medium bowl add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix together.

  8. In a large bowl add the orange juice, cranberry juice, cranberries, dates, raisins, pineapple, pecans, vanilla extract, maple syrup and the thickened flax seed meal mixture.

  9. Mix all together.
  10. Add the flour mixture to the fruit mixture and blend well.
  11. Pour into the prepared bundt pan and flatten it down, as well as you can, on the top.
  12. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes.
  13. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 30 minutes.
  14. Remove from the pan and let cool completely.
  15. Melt the apple jelly in the microwave and drizzle over the top of the cake.

Recipe Notes

Wonderful fresh but it also freezes really well.  If you chooses to freeze please use one of my methods as described in my article

  2. You sure are right – Christmas does bring out the best in us – and that’s pretty darn amazing – just like this vegan bundt fruitcake! I so love a good fruitcake but never have I had a vegan one before. So delicious!

  9. This looks so lovely Ginny. I know a lot of people don’t like fruit cake but I love it and make one every Christmas. I really need to invest in a bundt tin. I have never had one but they make cakes look so pretty!

  14. Wow, fruitcake is serious business! I can’t believe that lady backed you in a corner. I haven’t had fruitcake in years. Your bundt cake version looks out-of-this-world delicious! Perfect for the holiday table 🙂

  22. My mom loves fruitcake something fierce, but I’ve personally never tried it! I’m going to need to buy a bundt pan, so that I can make yours and give it to her. Then I can finally try it too!

  23. It’s been a very long time since I’ve had fruitcake, but I remember liking it! I know it has a bad rap, but I think it’s great, and I love your version!

  25. My father in law would love this! He’s a huge fan of fruit cake. This looks so good…I think I could definitely get on board too! Love the idea of melting apple jelly as a glaze!

  29. Guess I should have paid more attention to recipe instead of the yummy picture! I see that the recipe calls for salt & baking soda!!!

  30. if substituting all purpose flour for wheat do you recommend adding baking powder, baking soda or salt?

  31. This looks like my kind of fruitcake. Fresh and full of good ingredients. I’ve actually never eaten fruitcake before because it’s always scared me, but this is one I actually want to get my hands on! And I LOVE your little heart shaped bowl, by the way!

  37. This looks great. Nothing like I am accustomed to seeing. I would like a slice and cup of coffee please. I cannot lie, fruit cake was never something I have understood. It’s around every holiday, harder than a hockey puck with a sticky glaze over it and fruit pieces in such bright hues that are not naturally occurring. It’s never looked appetizing. But not this one – this looks great!

  44. This looks so good! Fruitcake is my holiday weakness. I love that the ingredients are so nutritious for this recipe. That always equals less guilt:)

  45. Yes, the flax seed meal is actually a substitute for 2 eggs. You could also use chia seed meal and water as egg substitutes. A mashed banana would work also. All purpose flour would work very well.

  46. Do you have an alternative for the flax seed meal? Also instead of whole wheat flour can you substitute all purpose flour? Thanks

  48. Hi, this looks interesting. I just have a question, can you provide the website for where I can purchase the apple jelly?
    Thanks,
    Elyna
