Lovely cakes to use up the last of xmas mincemeat enjoyed by all my family!

These were delicious! Make a really nice change from traditional mince pies. I made a batch to take to work and people came back for 2nd and even 3rd helpings.

I just made this by thirding the mixture and made about 9 miniature cupcakes in my mini cupcake maker! Parents said they were delish!

Love this fab cake recipe !!!! So easy to make great way to get kids to bake they can dollop the mincemeat as you layer the mixture. I'm not a great fan of mince pies these are a great alternative. Thanks Mary for another great recipe !

Yum! I had some mincemeat left over and decided to try these - they are delicious! I think I will also try them with some stewed apple when the festive season is over.

really easy, made in muffin cases, good alternative to pastry mince pies. Will definately make again

Baked in mini muffin silicon tray. made about 30. Baked for 18-19mins at 180 degrees. Used piping bag for ease. Came out well enough - not quite as nice as a mince pie, but I will make again as they are much less faffing!

These were rally delicious. Made some slightly larger ones in muffin cases and baked them longer. Really tasty.

I did this as a slab cake in a 9"x9" tin - bake for 30-35 mins and cut into squares. I put half in the freezer for another day.
Very good served warm with rum and raisin ice cream-careful you don't burn your mouth on the hot mincemeat though!
Lovely light- textured sponge cake-I just added vanilla not mixed spice, and not too sweet like mince pies.

Lovely, very popular

Thank you Andrea, was hoping to find a comment from someone who had mixed the mincemeat in as thought i would do that too, will now i know it will be ok :-)

oops forgot my 5 star rating!

i made these with the Sandham Family Mince recipe too. so much easier than messing about with pastry for mince pies. this recipe made 18 regular sized cupcakes. i think next time i'll try them with lots of cinnamon and use the muffin tin

so quick and easy to make. Used the muffin size tins and the mixture was the right amount.

I made these on Christmas eve. They were so simple to make (for a baking novice) and they tasted amazing, particularly when hot. I can't wait to make them again!

first time of doing a sponge cake very easy to do used brown sugar had no muscovado sugarturned out very good might put some icing on the next batch i do

I have just made these for the second time, instead of putting mincemeat in the middle of each cake i stirred it into the mixture before dividing into cases...much easier this way when a three year old is helping!

These are really lovely and easy to make. They've even replaced mince pies in our house!

Scrumptious!

OMG so much better than mince pies ! was delicious and so easy to make, very moreish !
