Traditional English treats always hold a special place in people’s hearts, especially during festive times of the year. Simnel Cake is a part of the festive treats cherished during Easter in Britain. This dense fruitcake, layered with almond paste and adorned with eleven marzipan balls symbolising the apostles, has been delighting taste buds for centuries.
Baking a Simnel Cake isn’t just about culinary skill; it’s about preserving a meaningful tradition. From the careful layering of the cake to the thoughtful arrangement of its toppings, each step carries significance. Originally, it was intended as a gift from servant to master on Mothering Sunday, a precursor to our modern Mother’s Day celebration, but over time, it got associated with Easter. But beyond its symbolism, the Simnel Cake fosters togetherness. Sharing it with friends, family and neighbours, brings everyone closer in the spirit of Easter joy.
