How to Make Mincemeat Upside Down Cake Simplified

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (21 ounce) can mincemeat, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Mix well.
  3. Spread the mincemeat mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. Prepare your favorite boxed cake mix according to package directions. (Most cake mixes require adding eggs, oil, and water.)
  5. Pour the cake batter over the mincemeat mixture.
  6. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. The warm mincemeat topping will be on top!
  8. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional).
