Recipe: Quick Mincemeat Fruit Cake for Ann/Australia

Hi Ann :-) This fruit cake can also be made in a tube pan, rather than 2 loaf pans.

QUICK MINCEMEAT FRUITCAKE

2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 (28 ounce) jar ready-to-use mincemeat
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups candied mixed fruit

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line two 9 x 4-inch loaf pans with wax paper.

Sift the flour and baking soda together.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, mincemeat, condensed milk, fruit and nuts. Fold in dry ingredients. Pour into prepared pans. Bake for 2 hours or until center springs back and top is golden brown. Cool.

Turn cakes out onto a wire rack; remove wax paper.
