Hi,

I hope one of the following will help. I don't know what dry mincemeat is? And where you can purchase it? If you do, please let me know. All I have ever seen as far as mincemeat goes it the jar kind. Thanks.

Alaska Mincemeat Cake

2 c. water
1 3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. margarine
1 pkg. dry mincemeat
3 1/4 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 c. raisins
1 c. chopped apples
1/2 c. chopped nuts

Put water, sugar, margarine and mincemeat into a saucepan and bring to a boil until margarine, sugar and mincemeat are melted. Let cool; set aside. Add the rest of ingredients and bake for 1 hour at 325 degrees to 350 degrees in a greased tube pan or 2 loaf pans. If baked in loaf pans, less baking time is required. This is a very moist cake much like a fruit cake and needs no frosting. Confectioners sugar may be sprinkled on top of cake.
