Lovely recipe, my husband thinks these are better than mince pies. Less hassle than pies.

This recipe is amazing these cakes taste so good. The sponge is moist and will be definitely making these at Xmas instead of the usual ones.

The only thing I will do differently next time is to use smaller bun cases as I only had enough mixture for 7. My fault not yours, but it does usually take…

question

GF Team,

Is it a dessertspoon of sponge mixture to a tsp mincemeat? And will it work with muffin cases?

Also, can they be reheated in the oven from frozen?

Hello, Use a tablespoon for the cake mix, yes muffin cases will be fine - though they are often bigger than cake cases so you will have to make fewer, larger cakes or have cases that are not so full when cooked. And yes they can be reheated in the oven but be careful you don't dry them out.

Hello, Thank you for your question, yes they will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days. You could re-warm them briefly in a low oven before serving if you wanted.

Just made this as one large square cake, filled with some 18 month-old homemade jeweled mincemeat from the website, with a dash of whisky to perk things up a bit. Fantastic !
