- Put the rest of the dried fruit into a large mixing bowl. Add the zest and juice of the lemon and orange, stir really well and let the fruit soak up the juices.
- In the largest mixing bowl you have, whisk together the oil and minced apricot puree until it is as well combined as you can get it. Whisk in the eggs until all of the ingredients are combined.

Most Christmas cakes are packed full of gluten and refined sugar and contain hundreds and hundreds of grams of dried fruit.

It's a very traditional cake recipe, it's not gluten free or sugar free, it's just a little lighter.
