- Place the almonds in the TM bowl. Chop 10 sec/Sp 8. Repeat, if necessary.
- Set aside.
- Remove the peel from the orange and lime using a vegetable peeler, avoiding the bitter white pith as much as possible.
- Place the zest in the bowl. Chop 20sec/Sp9. Repeat if necessary.
- Set aside.
- Put the dates, coconut oil, almond meal, maple syrup, salt, spices and vanilla in the TM bowl.
- Mix 20 secs/Sp9, or until smooth. (I did this in 2 batches, but 1 would probably work also.)
- Spoon mixture into a large bowl.
- Add all the other ingredients to the large bowl and mix well.
- Line a tin, such as one you would use for brownies, with baking paper. An 8"x8" tin, or a 22cm springform pan, would be suitable.
- Put the mixture into the tin, pushing down well with a spatula or the palm of your hand.
- Cover and place in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
- Remove from pan and slice.
- Dust with cocoa powder before serving. (Optional)
- ENJOY!!
(Warning - this cake is incredibly more-ish!) - Store leftovers in the fridge, well covered. They will keep well for a couple of months - but chances are it will all be eaten well before then!

Tip
This recipe is not mine - it comes from The Virtual Vegan (https://avirtualvegan.com/raw-christmas-fruit-cake/) and I have simply "Thermomised" it.
As Mel says on her website, this recipe is flexible in regards to the dried fruit and nuts used. Feel free to make substitutes, but just ensure that you do use the dates and dried figs. Also, the overall quantity needs to remain the same.
If you cannot source the Medjool dates, use regular dried dates instead, but you will need to soak them in warm water for 15 minutes to soften them up. Make sure to drain them very well after their soak.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
