MOIST CHRISTMAS CAKE (NO ADDED SUGAR OR FAT)
This recipe is really moist with a great flavour. Because of the natural sugars in fruit it is naturally sweetened. I have used this cake for all special occasions and everyone just loves it. Especially when they find out there is no added sugar or fat!

CHRISTMAS CAKE
This cake is a rich, dark, moist fruit cake, very flavorful at Christmas. Try icing with almond paste for a more festive touch. This recipe is started in October or November so as to let it mellow before the holidays. I remember very well my mother storing her fruit cake in an old butter churn that belonged to my grandmother and great grandmother. I wish that I had that old crock.

- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter they will be, and the less added sweetener you will need.
- Use a variety of spices: This will give your cake a more complex flavor. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Don't over-mix the batter: Over-mixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a loaf pan: This will help to prevent the cake from drying out.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
