		One delicacy especially associated with Mothering Sunday is the Simnel Cake, a yeast cake very yellow in color because of the saffron and candied peel it contained.
		The simnels were wrapped in cloth and boiled, then brushed with egg and baked, making a very hard cake indeed, and giving rise to the story of the lady who used one for years as a footstool.

		A Simnel Cake is an almond-flavoured fruit cake now usually associated with Easter, although it was originally a cake made in England for Mothering Sunday, the fourth Sunday in Lent.
		I normally make an almond-flavoured sweetened semolina mixture for the filling of this modestly sized Simnel Cake, since it is not always easy to find ground almonds to use to make marzipan at this time of year.
		Spread the remaining cake mixture over the mock almond layer, dropping it on in fairly small blobs as you did for the almond filling then spreading it so that it covers the almond-flavoured filling completely.
