Mincemeat Cake With Pecans

• cooking spray
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, or to taste
• 2 teaspoons ground allspice, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups prepared mincemeat pie filling
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups raisins
• 2 cups whole maraschino cherries, drained (reserve juice)
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup chopped pecans, or more to taste
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1 fluid ounce brandy flavoring
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray an angel food tube pan or 2 5x9-inch bread pans with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, and salt together into a bowl.
3. Stir the mincemeat pie filling, sugar, eggs, raisins, maraschino cherries, carrots, pecans, applesauce, canola oil, brandy flavoring, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl. Mix about 1/3 of the flour mixture into the mincemeat mixture at a time, stirring 3 or 4 times after each addition. If the batter seems dry, stir in reserved maraschino juice, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until batter is desired consistency. Spoon the batter into prepared cake pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until cake is lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
