This decadent festive cake filled with mincemeat and custard, drizzled with rum and citrusy orange icing makes for a delicious treat this Christmas!
Before we start – what is a Bundt cake? Bundt cakes do not conform to any single recipe; instead, their characterising feature is their shape. A Bundt pan can have smooth, fluted or grooved sides, but its most defining design element is the central hole or ‘chimney’ which leaves a cylindrical hole through the centre of the cake. The design means that more of the mixture touches the surface of the pan than in a simple round pan, helping to provide faster and more even heat distribution during the baking process.
