Holiday Mincemeat Cake Recipe - Food.com image

I made this cake one year for Christmas when I was short of time and wasn't able to make a pie. It was a big hit. It is a very moist cake best served with just a dusting of icing sugar for garnish.

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine, softened
4 teaspoons grated orange rind
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 (750 ml) jar mincemeat
