Does anyone have the Mary Berry Aga cookery book?

apprentice_tycoon

I don't know if she's written more than one Aga book but I borrowed one from the library a while back (I don't have an Aga but I can look at the book, can't I? )

I tried a great recipe for a light fruit cake that was made with mincemeat, I thought that I'd written it down but I can't find it anywhere, can anyone find it and write it up please? I don't need the method, just the quantities - thanks gang

Would that be the Dundee Mincemeat cake????
If so it's....

5oz Soft Marg
5oz Light Muscovado Sugar
2 Eggs
8oz Self Raising flour
8oz Mincemeat
4oz Currants
4oz Sultanas
and 2oz blanched split almonds to put on the top.

Not so easy to help I'm afraid....it's an all in one (apart from the nuts) recipe...but the cooking instructions are for an aga....so 1 1/2 hours in the special cake baker tin for the aga....I'd give it a go at about gas mark 3 or 4 cankd keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn the nuts probably about an hour - hour and a half.

i have mary berrys fast cakes book and she has a mincemeat cake which is smilar and it is160oc in a 20cm, 8inch round tin, line the base and sides of the tin with greased greaseproof paper or tin foil , bake 13/4 hrs pop a piece of tinfoil on top of the cake halfway through baking to stop it getting too brown on top ( thats one and three quarter hours, if numbers not clear )
