Check out vegan blogs, sure you will find something on one of them or you could find an egg free recipe and use margarine and soy milk instead of the dairy products.

Substituting butter for margarine in any recipe would work.

I have made this for the last couple of years and it is a lovely moist cake.

Kendall and Richard's Christmas Cake

1kg Tasti Christmas fruit mix or 1 kg dried fruit
1 cup orange juice
1 cup black tea(Can use ½cup tea and ½ cup brandy.)
2 cups wholemeal flour
3 tsp baking powder
70g slivered almonds (small packets in the baking section of the supermarket)
70g walnuts pieces
2 generous tsp cinnamon
2 generous tsp mixed spice
2 tsp vanilla essence
Soak the fruit in tea and orange juice, preferably overnight, but at least for a couple of hours.
Preheat oven to 160[Degree] fan bake. Place the rack just under halfway.
Line the bottom and sides of a 20cm square cake tin with baking paper.
Mix in the remaining ingredients except for the almonds with soaked fruit.
Sprinkle with slivered almonds. Bake for approximately 1½ hours or until a skewer stuck into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Cool, then cut as required
The cake is pretty when decorated with nuts and can be glazed with 1tspn apricot jam and 1tspn orange juice warmed together in microwave.
