Heat your oven to 190ºC  Gas 5 . Line a 12 bun cake tin with cake cases. 

Put the flour, sugar, butter, spice eggs and milk in a bowl and mix with electric mixer or wooden spoon for 2-3 mins until light and fluffy. 

Put a spoonful of cake mix in each cake case then a rounded tsp of mincemeat. Cover the mincemeat with a spoonful of cake mix and smooth. 

Bake for 15-18 mins until golden brown and firm. Dust with Icing sugar and serve.

I made glace icing for mine, just add a tiny amount of cold water at a time to icing sugar until it is the thickness you like.  Top the cakes and add the sprinkles before it sets.
