HOLIDAY MINCEMEAT CAKE
I made this cake one year for Christmas when I was short of time and wasn't able to make a pie. It was a big hit. It is a very moist cake best served with just a dusting of icing sugar for garnish.

Steps:
- Stir the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together; set aside.
- Cream the butter, orange rind and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light.
- Beat in the sugar.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Blend in the mincemeat.
- Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the nuts.
- Turn the batter into either a greased 12-cup Bundt or tube pan or a greased 9" x 13" cake pan.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- If using a Bundt pan, bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until done.
- If using a cake pan, bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
- In either case, cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the pan and cool completely.
- Dust with icing sugar before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using fresh fruit, nuts, and spices, and avoiding processed or artificial ingredients.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This helps to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For the eggnog-rum sauce, use a good quality eggnog. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce.
- If you don't have rum, you can substitute another type of alcohol, such as brandy or whiskey.
- Serve the cake with the eggnog-rum sauce immediately. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so it's best to serve it warm.
Conclusion:
This holiday mincemeat cake with eggnog-rum sauce is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any holiday gathering. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and creamy. This cake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
