SIMNEL CAKE was originally associated with Mothering Sunday – a day when young girls in domestic service were allowed to go home and visit their families (and be ‘mothered’). The employer provided the ingredients, then the girl baked the cake herself, to take home and help feed the extra mouths of family members who would assemble for a get-together on that day. In recent times it has become an Easter speciality and is often decorated as below, with eleven marzipan balls to represent the twelve apostles, less Judas.
This simnel cake keeps very well in an airtight cake box
