I'm not much of a baker, but I do still have leftover mincemeat from Christmas, so when I saw the challenge this week was cake, I knew what to do.

My mincemeat is homemade: here is the recipe. I heartily recommend it. 

The recipe for the cake I used is here. I didn't change too much because I'm not a very confident baker, but I did use some mixed dried fruit rather than 75g sultanas as the recipe suggests because the mixed fruit was actually cheaper. And I used caster sugar because that's what I had in the cupboard.

Here is the cake:

It's yummy - I had a big slice after dinner with some whisky. :) I think it could have done with a little less time in the oven because it came out quite crunchy round the edges, but other than that it is fine.

I like crunchy round the edges on a cake. I know, I know, I'm weird.

That looks delicious. I might have a go - have still got some mincemeat left over from Christmas, and I don't trust it to keep until next year!

That looks delicious! And I like the crunchy edges on a cake, too.

Ooh. I still have the leftovers from a Rather Large batch of fruit mince I made some years back, so maybe I'll give this one a go!
