The traditional Easter cake, with saffron and citrus peel and topped with marzipan, is the very essence of spring
Simnel cake is that rare thing – an Easter treat that doesn’t contain even a whiff of chocolate. Instead, this richly-fruited confection is topped with sweet, nutty marzipan, making it perfectly suited to end the traditional Lenten fast. Lighter and fluffier than Christmas cake, with golden saffron and zesty citrus peel, it’s the very essence of spring.
