Today's Friday bake is Simnel cake, had to be really.
I have been making this cake at Easter from the recipe in this book for quite a few years now.
The book is a old Readers Digest book that my Mother gave me years ago. The Simnel cake recipe is probably the only thing I actually use it for.
Finn is particularly fond of fruit cake, he did say that this was the best cake ever and asked why I only make it at Easter. I do wonder myself as it really is good.
Happy Easter....
It looks lovely. I never make Simnel cake...too much marzipan for us, but I do admire them.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very Eastery and equally delicious. Lovely Easter display. I absolutely love marzipan, so maybe we should give it a go. Happy Easter.
