1 tsp vanilla
Handful of flaked or sliced almonds
Method
* you can use caster sugar if you don’t have brown sugar.
Heat the oven to 160ºC or Gm 3 Grease, and line the 8″ round cake tin.
Cream the butter or margarine and sugar. Best in the egg one at a time.
Add the mincemeat and vanilla into the mixing bowl and mix well.
