Mincemeat Cake
Mincemeat Cake
I have made my own mincemeat to sell on our market stall, I put all sorts of things in it such as dates, carrot, apple and a goodly amount of rum.
Well after I had filled many jars I had some left and to be honest was rather looking for something other than mince pies I have made about 200 of them this year already.
Suddenly remembered Mincemeat Cake and whipped this little darling up in about ten minutes with an hour and some for cooking. The hour is necessary but the some is if you have a fan assisted oven, cook on gas or just how your stove behaves.
Recipe
8oz S/R flour
5oz butter
5oz brown sugar, I mixed dark brown and demerrara
4 small or 3 large eggs
1 lb jar of good mincemeat with booze init.
Grease an 8ins cake tin. Put everything in a bowl and mix it up. Not the greased cake tin just the ingredients.
Put mixture in the greased cake tin, shove it in the oven and cook it for the exact times given or until a skewer come out clean the skewer can be wooden or a knife blade as long as it comes out clean you are ok.
1 - 1/2 hours at 160c or number 3 gas.
This cake can be made and decorated as a Chrissy cake but we ate ours yesterday. Really nice.
