Early Simnel Loaf - 15th March

I made a Simnel loaf cake following a recipe in the Woman's Weekly, the fruit was soaked in tea, a tablespoon of apricot jam, mixed spice and chopped marzipan was stirred into the cake mixture rather than putting a layer of marzipan through the centre. Once baked the top of the loaf cake was brushed with apricot jam and then finished with marzipan, I crimped the edge and also added a few sugar paste daffodils. Lovely recipe which I will be making again.
