Mincemeat Crumble Cake

As an alternative this Christmas why not make this crumbly textured layered cake. Serve warm for a festive dessert with whipped cream, brandy butter or créme fraîche or serve it cold at tea time, dusted with icing sugar.

Cook's tips

As time is short at such a busy time of the year it is useful to know that this recipe can be prepared in advance and frozen until required. For best results after freezing defrost thoroughly and serve warm rather than cold. Place in a preheated oven 180C, gas mark 4 for 10 minutes.

Variation

As an alternative to cinnamon, add the finely grated rind of an orange or two satsumas.

What a lovely cake. I used extra spices and also a good grating of nutmeg. And had it warm with a good spoon full of clotted cream. A nice way to use mincemeat. And still very christmasy tasting. Have made another one, which is now in the freezer.

i forgot to mention that i altered the ingredients slightly as we are not great honney lovers in the family i changed this to golden syrup and replaced the cinnamen with the zest of 2 clemintines and sprinkled once cooked with icing sugar, not having a food processor made it aliitle harder to make but the end result was good

recently at the local ladies get together we were privilidged to a demonstration of two main meals using five ingredients and taking only 30 minutes ,the lady who lead the demonstration was amazing and as a treat we were given a piece of organic crumble cake, it was so delicious that i retreived the recipe from waitrose recipes and promptly baked one the next evening. although managing to burn my self the cake was unscathed infact it was yummy served warm with a little cream perfect for christmas and so easy to make plus it can be frozen for a later date.
