On-the-day mincemeat Christmas cake

Tick the ingredients you need to add your shopping list.

Preheat the oven to 160˚C/140˚C fan/gas mark 3. Grease a 20cm round cake tin and line with parchment paper.
Beat the butter, sugar, eggs and flour in a large mixing bowl until combined. Stir through the mincemeat, cherries and sultanas.
Transfer to the cake tin and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
While still warm, invert onto a wire rack. Poke holes in the top of the cake and brush with the warmed whiskey. Leave to cool completely.
