Great idea to make this cake for your ...Hi Menaka,<br /><br />Great idea to make this cake for your friend! We used dried cranberries, which is why they soak in the orange juice, to make them soft. If your friend can't have sugar, make sure you are buying UNSWEETENED cranberries, as most are sweetened to take the bite out of the sourness. If you can't find unsweetened dried cranberries, you can also try dried cherries. If neither are available, try canned cranberries (in water or juice, not in syrup) and use 1 & 1/3 cup drained cranberries and leave out the orange juice.<br /><br />Hope this helps!Claudia Davila (Fran)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02170748777867000492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20886742.post-55315049022321616482010-11-22T15:53:23.255-05:002010-11-22T15:53:23.255-05:00Hello there,

My acupuncturist wants me to eat more poached or soaked fruits, so this is perfect.

But in this case it actually worked out well! Possibly because of all the dried fruits to temper it?Claudia Davila (Fran)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02170748777867000492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20886742.post-71766815347860022822008-12-24T10:33:00.000-05:002008-12-24T10:33:00.000-05:00Did baking the Stevia turn out ok?

Racheyalex, see if you can find actual flaked coconut, which looks like thin slices or shards of coconut. Otherwise, the usual grated kind will work too. :-)Claudia Davila (Fran)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02170748777867000492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20886742.post-40013505561213814182008-12-16T23:57:00.000-05:002008-12-16T23:57:00.000-05:00when you mention flaked coconut are you referring ...when you mention flaked coconut are you referring to the usual sweetened kind?racheyalexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698938652792237720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20886742.post-82431441028430008352008-12-15T23:12:00.000-05:002008-12-15T23:12:00.000-05:00This actually sounds like an edible alternative to...This actually sounds like an edible alternative to those perfumery fruitcakes that keep getting passed around.

Sad how such a wonderful treat has been vilified here in North America - I blame it on those synthetic cherries and the media. ;) Thank you for sharing this sugarless recipe. I'm completely off sugar right now, and most holiday treats are packed with it. Happy healthy baking!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
