Fill your kitchen with the sweet aroma of spiced fruit cake made with cozy cinnamon and nutmeg.

This decadent fruit cake packs in a variety of dried fruits into each bite. It contains a balanced blend of soft chewy bread with the nutty, sweet flavors of warm cinnamon and nutmeg.

The natural sweetness from dried fruits and maple syrup are perfect alternatives to using refined sugars. Dates and raisins offer a sweet and sticky texture to the cake. Cranberries, mangos, and apricots help amp up the juicy flavor while also adding essential vitamins and minerals.

While traditional fruit cakes typically use wheat flours, this recipe combines a blend of almond and coconut flours for a gluten-free twist. Almond flour is great for making the bread soft and nutty, while the coconut flour adds a subtle sweet flavor. Added vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon bring a warm, fall-inspired touch.

To get started, combine the two flours, baking powder, and spices in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir in the fruits. Mix well and pour the mixture into the loaf pan.

Next, place the pan into the oven and bake for 45 minutes. To check for readiness, insert a toothpick into the center of the bread and ensure it comes out clean. When ready, let it cool for 15 minutes, then serve and enjoy!

Tip: To soften the fruits, you can soak them overnight in fruit juice or red wine (if not following a strict Paleo diet).
