Barefoot Bakery’s Classic Easter Simnel Cake is a beautifully traditional fruit cake that captures the essence of the season with warmth and nostalgia. Rich, moist, and gently spiced, it’s packed with plump vine fruits, citrus peel, and a hint of zesty orange and lemon, all bound together in a tender crumb.
At its heart lies a layer of golden marzipan, adding a soft almond sweetness that perfectly complements the depth of the fruit. The cake is crowned with another smooth layer of marzipan, delicately toasted to a light golden finish, and traditionally decorated with eleven small marzipan balls—symbolising the apostles (minus Judas).
Each slice offers a perfect balance of sweetness and spice, with a satisfying richness that makes it ideal for sharing over Easter gatherings. Handmade with care and high-quality ingredients, Barefoot Bakery’s Simnel Cake feels both indulgent and comforting—a timeless centrepiece for spring celebrations.
