Almond fruitcake

Made this to take down to my Aunt's place Sunday afternoon, this is a really delicious moist loaf cake, definite keeper!
We went for a lovely meal at the 'Chateau de Labourdonnais' yesterday to celebrate a lovely week and to top it off, Tom has lost just over 5 kgs so far in under 3 weeks!

ALMOND FRUITCAKE
This makes enough for one mini loaf tin.

• 70 g ground almonds
• 80 g dried fruit ( raisins, currants, mixed peel, dried berries, whatever really.)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Half a tsp baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• Zest of 2 small lemons/ 1 large
• 1 tbsp coconut oil ( or olive oil)
• Half a tbsp of honey
• 1 tsp vanilla essence / half a pod (I used both)
• 2 eggs

1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Mix your almond meal, dried fruit, baking powder, salt, zest and baking soda together.
3. Make a well in the centre of your dry ingredients and mix in your oil, honey, vanilla and eggs. Mix until nicely combined. Pour into a well greased baking tin and bake for about 25 minutes until nicely browned.
