This is a fruit cake with some of the fruit in the form of a jar of mincemeat. This makes the cake deliciously moist. It's a Delia Smith recipe and she calls it her "last minute Christmas cake" because it's so quick and easy to make and would be a good substitute for a "proper" Christmas cake.
We're going to visit Martha, Rosie and Jake in a few days time and I made this cake for them. I don't think Jake is quite ready for cake but his Mums will enjoy it.
Baking is a good thing to do at this time of year especially when there's someone else to bake for.
