Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cups sour cream
• 1.5 cups prepared mincemeat
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square or round baking pan.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

On low speed, mix in half of the dry ingredients, followed by the sour cream, and then the remaining dry ingredients. Do not overmix; the batter should be smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Step 7

Spoon the mincemeat over the batter layer, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Top the mincemeat with the remaining cake batter, using a spatula to spread it as evenly as possible.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and chopped nuts (if using). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter as a streusel topping.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Enjoy the cake warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea.
