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