1930 Recipe for Mincemeat Cake

Well dear AuntSana beat me in reviewing this wonderfully tasty cake, but then I do love mincemeat & around here it's never a left-over, but rather a staple since I buy enough during the winter holidays to last me throughout the year (now that I've pretty much stopped making my own)! This is the kind of cake that one can/should enjoy any time of year! Thanks so much for posting this great recipe keeper! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's round of Pick A Chef]

As Chef #424680 can attest, we both love our mincemeat! This definitely tasted like something from my childhood. My Mother always used those 9 oz blocks of dried mincemeat to make her pies. I think she would have loved this cake. I always have a couple of blocks in my pantry. To better blend that block of mincemeat (if that is what you are using), put it through your food process with some of the flour. It stops it from clumping up. The buttermilk is a fantabulous addition to the cake. Will definitely be making this again, Rita. Thnx for sharing the recipe. Made for PAC Spring 2010. You've been adopted! http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
