The Simnel Cake signifies the end of Lent is a time of fasting and repentance culminating in a feast of seasonal dishes and symbolic. Simnel Cake Recipe is rich in fruits, spices and marzipan, all forbidden during Lent, so ready to be enjoyed again.
Originally the Simnel cake was for Mother's Day Girls on the service they received a day off to visit their mothers, but more commonly eaten at Easter.
The name is probably of a sister (Nell) and her brother (Simon) who wanted to make a cake for his mother to come. We wanted the cake to make the other for cooking. They decided to do both and combine them into one that was as Simnel cake today, what we know.
