Method
-
Step 1
To prepare the fruit, place the mincemeat, cherries, mixed dried fruit, brandy, orange zest and juice in a large bowl and mix until evenly combined. Cover bowl with a clean tea towel and let fruit rehydrate for a minimum of 6 hours at room temperature.
-
Step 2
When fruit is rehydrated, preheat oven to 170°C/Fan 160°C. Generously grease the Ninja Foodi Zerostick Loaf Tin with a little of the melted butter.
-
Step 3
To the mincemeat mixture, add melted butter, eggs, flour, sugar and mixed spice and mix until evenly combined. Transfer mixture into the prepared Ninja Foodi Zerostick Loaf Tin. Using the back of a spoon, smooth and level the batter then top with whole almonds.
-
Step 4
Place the tin in the centre of the oven and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Cover cake with foil halfway through cooking.
-
Step 5
Cooking is complete when the cake is firm to touch and a cocktail stick is inserted into centre of cake and comes out clean. Allow the loaf to cool in the tin for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool.
