Summary: A lovely recipe to relieve the munchies at Easter tea time. Traditionally, Simnel cake was made for Mothering Day. Girls working in service were allowed to use the leftover dried fruits from the Christmas celebrations to make this cake as a present for their mothers. Nowadays, Simnel cakes are often made for Easter.

Summary: This is our Vintage Christmas Cake recipe, that we used to give out to customers in our stores in the late 70s. Many traditional Christmas cake recipes recommend maturing the cake over 2-3 months, and this one is no exception, although the cake is delicious to eat right away as well. But many recipes are made with a whole host of ingredients that modern bakers today can’t use, be it for health or ethical reasons, such as wheat (containing gluten), or dairy. Our vintage Real Foods recipe allows you to cater for a modern world full of food intolerances and ethical choices that weren’t so prevalent even just a decade ago.
Don't just follow this recipe ...
Be adventurous and creative ... use coconut, chestnut flour, cashews, hazels, pecans, sunflower or sesame seeds, apple rings or peaches or pears ... just remember to keep proportions of dry goods and liquids correct, and do share your favourite variation with us.
HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY HOGMANAY
