Tasty traditions The humble simnel cake is having a revival! Once baked for Mother’s Day and Easter, this delicious cake is a combination of a soft sponge and classic fruit cake, topped with toasted marzipan. Cambridge institution Fitzbillies has been baking it for decades but has noticed a resurgence of demand for this classic cake in 2026, with connoisseurs coming back to a traditional flavour that’s light, soft and fruity. You can try simnel cake in all of the Fitzbillies branches, order online or find the recipe to bake one yourself at fitzbillies.com
