Country Fare Easter Fruit Cake
Product number: 61071
Harking back to medieval times, a lightly spiced, marzipan-topped simnel cake has long been a part of British Easters. Country Fare’s bakers have given a modern twist to a much-loved old family recipe, soaking dried fruit overnight in a generous amount of French brandy to produce the plumpest possible result and then baking in the almond paste centre before topping with more almond paste and sugar flowers instead of the more traditional orbs. The result is a deliciously moist fruit cake, sure to be enjoyed with afternoon tea wherever you are.

I love fruitcake so I decided to treat my family to a Simnel Cake this year as I ran out of time to make my own. This Simnel Cake from Country Fare was excellent! Really Scrumptious, moist and a good lashing of Brandy, just the right amount of marzipan. Loved the cute flowers as well, only problem was the cake didn't last long at all!!
So disappointing, I hesitate to say it seems stale because it was well wrapped and the tin sealed, but it is dry, not what I expected, just as well I was tempted to try it before Easter, I now have time to find some other treat for the family. Half the appeal was the tin and at least I still have that.
Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback. I'm sorry that the cake hadn't been to your liking.
