How do you make mincemeat fruit cake?

Mincemeat fruit cake is made by combining flour and baking soda with eggs, mincemeat, condensed milk, candied fruit and nuts. The batter is poured into a baking pan and cooked, then cooled and optionally garnished with nuts. Mincemeat fruit cake can also be made as bars, by cooking the batter in a jelly roll pan and slicing into portions, or as cookies, by dropping tablespoonfuls of the batter onto baking sheets.
