This really simple and super festive cake is a cheat’s dream. You can bake on the day or the day before you wish to eat it. You can make a larger batch of the mincemeat, as it stores really well, especially if you top it up a little each week with brandy.
This is such an easy way to kick start the old Christmas spirit. Your house will smell delicious and you’ll finish up with lots of very pretty decorations, all au naturel.
