Zubereitung von Traditional British Mothering Sunday Simnel Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F/Gas Mark 2). Grease and flour a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Sift together the flour, mixed spice, and baking powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  5. Stir in the mixed peel, currants, raisins, and sultanas.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 100-120 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Meanwhile, prepare the almond paste: Knead the almond paste until smooth and roll it out to a circle slightly larger than the cake.
  9. Place the rolled-out almond paste on top of the cooled cake, gently pressing it down to cover the top.
  10. Roll small portions of almond paste into 11 small balls for the apostles.
  11. Arrange the 11 almond paste balls on top of the almond paste layer.
  12. Decorate the cake with crystallized flowers and tie a yellow ribbon around the sides.
