    When fruit is rehydrated, preheat oven to 180°C/Fan 165°C.

  • Step 3

    Add eggs, flour and sugar to the bowl of soaked fruit and mix until evenly combined. Transfer mixture into the Ninja Foodi Zerostick Loaf tin. Using the back of a spoon, smooth and level the batter.

  • Step 4

    Place the loaf in the centre of the oven and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes.

  • Step 5

    Cooking is complete when the cake is firm to touch and when a cocktail stick is inserted into centre of cake and comes out clean.

  • Step 6

    Allow the loaf to cool in the loaf tin for 15 minutes before transferring the loaf to a wire rack to cool.
