Tips for Making Gluten-Free Boiled Fruit Cake:
- Use a variety of dried fruits. This will give your cake a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include raisins, currants, sultanas, cherries, and apricots.
- Soak the dried fruits in tea or juice before using. This will help to plump them up and make them more flavorful.
- Use a gluten-free flour blend that is specifically designed for baking cakes. Not all gluten-free flour blends are created equal, so be sure to choose one that will give you the best results.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a greased and floured bundt pan. This will help to ensure that the cake cooks evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set properly.
