I was asked a lot last Easter if I had a Simnel loaf cake so I wanted to make sure I made one for this year!
Simnel cake is a fruit cake usually eaten at Easter here in the UK. It typically has a layer of marzipan in the middle of the cake and on the top. Traditionally it is decorated with 11 marzipan balls on the top to represent Jesus's 11 disciples.
You can decorate the top of the cake as you like, it doesn't have to be traditional. You can add any decorations you like and be creative!
I have lots of nice Easter cutters for animals and flowers that I have used in the past to decorate my Easter cakes for my cafe.
I was very proud to have this recipe featured in Cumbria Life Magazine in April 2024.
