Tropical Christmas Fruit Cake [Vegan, Gluten-Free] – One Green Planet

To Make the Mince:

1. Add all of the dried fruit, coconut, coconut sugar, spices, zest, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl with a sealable lid.
2. Add the mango and pineapple to a blender and blend until smooth, then add to the dried ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir to combine.
3. Place the lid onto the bowl and let sit for up to 4-5 days. Stirring it once a day. The longer it sits, the more the flavors develop.
4. Use in any desired desserts.

To Make the Cake:

1. Preheat oven to 355°F.
2. Mix all ingredients thoroughly, then press into a small greased ring tin and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer comes out dry.
3. Let cool completely before trying to remove from tin. Then, place the cake into the refrigerator because you want it to cool when you frost it.

To Make the Frosting:

1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until super smooth and creamy.
2. Blending will make the frosting a little bit warm so let it cool for a while, then gently pour it over the top of the cold cake so that it just drizzles down the sides. Put it back into the refrigerator to semi-set the frosting, then add some decorations to the top if you wish, like berries and nuts.
