Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1.5 cups Mincemeat
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, milk, mincemeat, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting.
To make the frosting, beat together the powdered sugar, unsalted butter, milk, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake using a spatula or knife.
Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy!
