How to cook:

Heat the oven to 180°C (gas mark 4). Grease and line the base of a 18cm (7in) cake tin. Place the cake ingredients into a large bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until combined. Spoon into the prepared cake tin and bake for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine topping ingredients in a bowl. Carefully remove the cake from the oven and gently spoon over the topping (don't go all the way to the edges) and take extra care to make sure it doesn't sink into the cake.
Return the cake to the oven and bake for a further 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Cover loosely with foil or baking parchment for the last 10 minutes to prevent it colouring too much.
Leave in the tin for about 15 minutes before cooling completely on a wire rack.

How to cook:

Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Grease and line a 9 inch by 12 inch traybake cake tin with greaseproof paper.
In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and mix in, one at a time.
Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into the mixing bowl. Mix everything until well combined.
Add the spices to the mix and stir in.
Gently stir the mincemeat (mince pie filling) into the cake mix.
Pour the mix into the prepared sheet pan/traybake tin and level out. Gently tap the tin on the worktop to remove any air bubbles.
Bake for about 35 minutes until the centre of the cake is cooked - use a cake tester or skewer to check. If the tester comes out clean the cake is cooked. If it has pieces of uncooked cake on leave the cake to cook for a few minutes more and test again.
Leave in the tin to cool for 30 minutes and then remove from the tin to cool completely.
Cream Cheese Buttercream
Make sure the unsalted butter is at room temperature as it will help make it a lot easier to make.
Using a hand mixer, mix the butter and icing sugar.
Add the cream cheese and create a smooth mix. It should be more thick than runny and will hold its shape. If it's too runny add a tablespoon of icing sugar at a time and whisk until it thickens up.
Decorating the mince pie cake
Smear the cream cheese buttercream thickly over the cold cake.
Decorate with crumbled up mince pies and your favourite Christmas sprinkles.
