Simnel Cake

A plethora of flavors abound in this traditional Easter cake. The cake, brimming with raisins, currants, spices, and overtones of orange liqueur, is layered with apricot glaze and delicious marzipan. Traditional Simnel cake is topped with 11 marzipan balls, meant to represent the eleven favored apostles, excluding Judas. My version of Simnel includes Flour Buttercream and a few colorful Jordan Almonds. If you prefer to keep to a traditional Simnel, simply layer the cake layers with the marzipan and top with the marzipan balls.
