I made this rather different Simnel Cake one Easter when our friends were coming to stay and it was voted a big hit with all concerned. I just hope that with the present odd shopping situation, you will be able to buy all the necessary ingredients. I won’t be making one this year as we have so much Christmas cake left. My husband has been on a very strange diet – low fibre – and unable to eat dried fruit. I make my Christmas cake for him, so there is a lot left!

Slightly different this month as the recipe is on the BBC’s “Good Food” website – use the link below to get to it:

Wishing you all a happy Easter, although I realise it will be far from normal.
