Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups sour cream
- 1.5 cups prepared mincemeat
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square or round baking pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
On low speed, mix in half of the dry ingredients, followed by the sour cream, and then the remaining dry ingredients. Do not overmix; the batter should be smooth and creamy.
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Spoon the mincemeat over the batter layer, spreading it out evenly.
Top the mincemeat with the remaining cake batter, using a spatula to spread it as evenly as possible.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and chopped nuts (if using). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter as a streusel topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy the cake warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea.
