Simnel Cake for Easter

Easter wouldn't be Easter without a Simnel Cake .... and as I did with my Christmas Cake, I decided to use Edd Kimber's recipe from 'Say it with Cake'

Really simple and easy to follow ...

With great results...

Soak the fruit overnight in the brandy ...

Add to the cake mix and spoon half into the lined tin...

Then add the circle of marzipan and cover with rest of cake mix and bake ...

When cool, cut out circle of marzipan to put on top..

Then roll out 11 balls of marzipan to represent the disciples minus Judas ..

Heat some jam to make it stick to cake...

Brush on top and place marzipan on, the crimp edges...

Place balls on top and either grill or use a blow torch to brown ...

Finally decorate as you wish ..

And cut in and enjoy ... Happy Easter xx

It was delicious and really moist x
