Mrs Chef's Easy Peasy Vegan & Gluten Free Christmas Cake

INGREDIENTS

• 1kg Mixed Fruit • 1 Pack Glace Cherries (Chopped in half) • 2 Cups of Chocolate Soya Milk • 1/2 Cup Brandy • 2 Cups of Gluten Free Self-Raising Flour

METHOD

Soak your fruit in the chocolate milk and brandy for 24 hours. After your fruit has soaked, fold in your flour. You will need a 9" cake tin, grease this with vegan butter. Add your mixture and bake in a low oven 100' for up to 4 hours. Low and slow is the name of the game. Perfect moist cake every-time.

• Winter Spiced Orange • 150ml Orange Juice • 50ml Rum (Optional) • Dash Cinnamon & Vanilla Syrup • Dash Gingerbread Syrup

• Little oil & Salt and Pepper • 1 Medium Onion • 3 Cloves of Garlic Crushed • 1 tsp Turmeric & a Bay Leaf • 1500ml Vegetable Stock • About 1kg of Roasted Potatoes • Roasted Carrots, Courgettes, Parsnips (Works well with most root vegetables)

Pop your oil in the pan to heat, add your onions and garlic and allow to soften. Add your turmeric and coat your onions. Once blended add your roasted potatoes and vegetables mix through your onions. Add vegetable stock & bay leaf and allow to simmer for 40 mins. For the best finish, remove the bay leaf and blitz using a hand blender. A beautiful warming soup made with left overs!
