Christmas Fruit and Nut Cake

Traditional flavors with an updated flair: Yoghurt lends a lighter texture to the batter,
and papaya makes a cameo appearance for a festive tang.

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup Plain Mountain High Yoghurt
  • ½ cup dried, sweetened cranberries
  • 1 cup dried, sweetened papaya, diced
  • ½ cup dried apricots, diced
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts
  • ¼ cup chopped almonds

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.

Place oil, sugar, vanilla, and eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat for about 1 minute on medium speed. Add yoghurt and mix until well combined. Reduce speed to low and add one half of the flour mixture, allowing it to become incorporated into the batter. Add remaining flour and mix until just incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl. Fold in the fruit and nuts.

Transfer to a greased and floured 9x5-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350°F for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Makes 12 servings.
