Bizcocho Corona de Mince Pie

Ingredientes

• 250 g unsalted butter
• 220 g golden caster sugar
• 200 g light muscovado sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 350 g plain yoghurt
• 2 teaspoons mixed spice ((use 1 heaped tablespoon if you want a spicier bake))
• 400 g mincemeat in a jar ((Or 6 mince pies chopped up with 100g of mincemeat))
• 320 g plain flour / all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• tiny pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 175ºC/150ºc fan.

2. 2

   Grease the bundt pan with melted butter and dust with flour – this will help you see if you haven’t greased any spots.

3. 3

   In a stand mixer cream the butter (at room temperature) and sugars until pale and fluffy.

4. 4

   Add the eggs one at a time and mixing together.

5. 5

   Mix the plain yoghurt and mincemeat together and add to the mixer.

6. 6

   In a separate bowl, measure and sieve out the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and all the ground spices.

7. 7

   Sieve in the flour gradually and stop when the flour is evenly mixed in.

8. 8

   Pour the mix into a greased and floured tin and bake for 1 hour or until a skewer comes out clean. I turn it around after 35 minutes to make sure it’s evenly cooked.

9. 9

   The cake will pull away from the edge of the tin when it is ready.

10. 10

    Leave the cake to cool fully before removing from the tin.

11. 11

    I decorated it with a simple icing drizzled over and topped with decorations. If you use inedible decorations like fake berries remove them when you cut up the cake to serve.
