Ingredients
My favorite about this Fruits Loaf with Walnuts and Almonds is the fact that it’s most made with ingredients that are in our kitchens.
- Dehydrated fruit: I used Goji Berries, Blueberries, Cranberries, Apricots, Plums, and Pears but choose whatever fruit you want.
- Walnuts: Pecans
- Almonds: peeled
- Flour: 00 flour
- Baking powder
- Sugar: granulated but I also do it with fine cane sugar
- Honey: I prefer to put less sugar and add a little Acacia honey
- Eggs: 3 eggs at room temperature
- Oil: I replace the butter with sunflower oil
- Milk: I used whole milk, but you can replace with Almond milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Grease and lightly flour, or line with parchment paper, a 30x11cm loaf pan.
Sift the flour and yeast into a bowl.
Coarsely chop the walnuts and almonds. Cut the dehydrated fruit into small pieces.
In a large bowl or planetary mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar with an electric whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy. Still with the whips in action, add the oil and the sifted flour a little at a time, alternating them with the milk and so on until exhausted.
Add the walnuts, the chopped almonds and the fruit mixed gently with a spatula. Pour everything into the pan and level.
Cook the plum cake for 40 minutes or until the appetizer comes out completely dry. Let it cool in the mold for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
