    Recipe Introduction


    This makes a 2 sizeable fruitcakes

    List of Ingredients




    Fruit Cake Bar Recipe:

    I use a flour mixture of the following:
    2C white rice flour
    2C sweet brown rice flour
    1C potato flour
    1C tapioca flour
    1/2C corn starch
    1/4C guar gum

    The fruit cake ingredients:

    1/2C soft butter
    1C flour mixture (see above)
    1/2C milk
    3 large eggs
    1/2C white sugar
    1/2C brown sugar
    1-1/2 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp vanilla
    1 tsp allspice
    1C each of: chopped dates, raisins, dried apricots, dried plums,
    dried cranberries (and I throw in dried pineapple as well)
    2C toasted English walnuts

    Recipe




    1. Toss fruit and nut mixture with 1tbsp lemon zest and 1/2C Triple
    Sec (or orange liqueur).
    2. Combine dry ingredients and sprinkle over fruit mixture. Mix
    well until blended.
    3. In separate bowl, beat eggs, and butter. Add sugar, milk, and
    vanilla until well mixed.
    4. Pour over fruit mixture and toss.
    5. Pour fruit cake batter into 2 well-greased loaf pans.
    6. Bake in 300-degree oven until golden brown (1-1/2 hours for me.)
    7. Allow to cool. Slice into bar sized pieces (it is moist and
    holds together quite well). Dip into melted semi-sweet chocolate
    chips, thinned only as necessary, with butter. Place in freezer until
    chocolate solidifies.
    8. ENJOY

    Note: This recipe makes two sizeable fruit cakes. I cut up one for
    the bars, and we eat the other as a fruit cake. If you need to make
    substitutions for the milk or butter, it shouldn't hurt the outcome
    since it is mostly the eggs and the tons of fruit that seem to hold
    it together.
