Mincemeat Fruit Cake – UK Slow Cooker Recipe

Based on a recipe from: Allrecipes UK: Easy mincemeat fruit cake. This is my version, made in the slow cooker.

Ingredients (8 slices)
  • 125 g plain flour, sifted.
  • 1 tsp baking powder.
  • 70 g soft butter.
  • 70 g caster sugar.
  • 40 g sultanas.
  • 1 egg, beaten.
  • 225 g mincemeat. I used *Robertson’s Classic Mincemeat. Which includes dried vine fruit, apple, candied citrus peel and spices.

I made this slow cooker fruitcake recipe in a Morphy Richards Accents Sear and Stew 3.5 L Slow Cooker (See my review).

Method (Total Cooking Time: 2 hours)
  1. Put all of the ingredients into a bowl. Mix thoroughly, without over-beating.
  2. Line the slow cooker with parchment. (See recipe note 1 below.) Pour the cake batter into the pot. Level out the top.
  3. Cover with a large piece of kitchen paper, held in place by the lid. (See recipe note 2 below). Cook on High for 2 hours.
  4. To check it is cooked: Insert a cocktail stick into the middle – it should come out clean. Turn off and leave for 10 minutes. Before transferring on to a wire rack to cool.
Recipe Notes
  1. I used a deep 22 cm round cake liner, which fits my oval 3.5l slow cooker pot.
  2. Placing a piece of kitchen roll, under the lid. Will absorb the excess steam whilst cooking. Otherwise the cake will just steam, and won’t get golden brown.
