Flour less fruit loaf

It's a very simple cake even if u might think that's a hell of list of ingredients. You can add or cut off from the dried fruit list I just added what I had in the cupboards. The goji, apricots and blueberries I soaked them for 2 hours in French brandy :) .

You can omit the pea protein if you don't have it but I definitely recommend it as baking with almond meal or any other flour substitute can be quite tricky. So the protein will make the loaf less "crumbly" and will hold it together.

• 2 cups almond meal
• 2 tbsp unflavoured pea protein ( I used Pulsin Pea Protein  this is optional I added it for a bit more consistency ) 
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• a pinch of salt 
• 1/4 cup chopped dried prunes 
• 1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
• 1/4 cup dried morello cherries 
• 1/4 cup dried blueberries 
• 1/4 cup goji berries 
• 1/4 cup raw organic peeled cocoa beans 
• a handfull of roughly chopped walnuts 
• 1 tsp lemon zest 
• 1 tsp orange zest
• 1 tsp cinnamon powder 
• 1 tsp nutmeg 
• 1 tsp all spice
• 5 eggs 
• 2 tbsp raw organic coconut oil
• 1 tbsp sour cream / double cream 
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 
• 1 tsp valencian orange extract 
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

In a big bowl mix all dry ingredients and the fruits and set aside .

In a medium bowl mix all the wet ingredients . Very important : they have to be room temperature or else the coconut oil will go solid .

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until well blended. 

Grease 2 loaf tins pour the mixture and bake for about 25 min at 180' C.

Let it cool to room temperature before getting it out of the tin and cut it. 

I baked them today and the whole house smelled a lil bit as Xmas. Will take them in my holiday tomorrow as a healthy treat for the week to come.
