Step #1
METHOD: ( makes 1 x 7" cake ) Grease a 19 cm (7 inch) round deep cake tin or line with baking parchment or greaseproof paper.
Step #2
Place the 30ml of vegetable oil, water and Orange Cake Mix into a mixing bowl. Blend together and beat by hand for 30 seconds or slow speed if using an electric mixer to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed. Fold in the 320g jar of Mincemeat into the mixed cake batter.
Step #3
Pour mixture into the prepared cake tin and smooth over the top. Bake in lower half of a pre-heated oven 160°C (325°F Gas Mark 3) for approximately 1 hour.
Step #4
A skewer inserted in the centre of the cake, comes out clean when baking is complete. Leave to cool before removing from tin.
Step #5
Thanks to Chris, Tony & Alan for displaying their mincemeat bakes with us - Tony's in the middle has a topping of marmalade & demerara sugar. Note: This cake can be made with our Madeira, Carrot, Ginger or Orange cake mixes * Only 30mls of oil is used (half the amount of vegetable oil on the pack) due to the suet within the mincemeat. Because of the juice within the cake, it will take a little longer to cook than normal.
Step #6
Just tasted the Madeira cake with mincemeat and mixed spice although I say it myself, delicious. Moist and as always due to a high quality cake mix. Thanks for the mention on social media much appreciated looking forward to more recipe suggestions. Regards Sheila Brown
