Quick Fruited Tea Cake
This is one of my favourite indulgences to enjoy with a nice hot cuppa and my feet up! Its a simple and easy cake and I am betting you have everything you need in the house to bake it right now!
Makes 1 9-inch round cake
This is a great last minute cake. Its nice for christmas, but actually its pretty special any time! A real teatime treat!
175g butter (3/4 cup)
100g light muscovado sugar (1/2 cup packed)
3 large free range eggs, beaten
225g self raising flour (1 1/2 cups, plus 2 TBS)
300g mincemeat (1 1/3 cups)
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
pinch ground cloves
pinch ground cardamom
1/2 tsp each ground cinnamon and ginger
To finish:
icing sugar to dust
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the mincemeat. Beat in the eggs, a bit at a time, until all are combined. Sift together the flour and spices. Fold this mixture thoroughly into the creamed mixture. It will be fairly thick. Spread into the prepared cake tin.
Bake for 40 minutes until golden brown and the top springs back lightly. It might even be slightly cracked on top, and a toothpick inserted in the centre should come out clean. Let sit in the cake tin for about 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Dust with icing sugar to serve. Break out the tea pot!
