Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F.

  2. Grease and line a 23cm/9-inch cake tin with parchment paper.

  3. Spoon the mincemeat into a bowl. Stir the finely diced apples, brandy, prunes, raisins, cinnamon, and mixed spice into the mincemeat.

  4. Place the soft butter, sugar, eggs, flour, and salt in a bowl of a stand mixer. Start mixing at low speed to combine then increase the speed and beat the mixture for about 2 minutes until light and creamy.

  5. Fold in the mincemeat-apple mix using a spatula.

  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin and smooth the surface.

  7. Bake for 1 hour; check after 50 minutes. If the top of the cake gets too dark, cover it loosely with aluminium foil.

  8. Enjoy!
