In Britain and Ireland, the cake traditionally eaten at Easter is the Simnel cake, a light fruitcake, flavoured with citrus zest, and made rich with dried fruit and spices.
Decoration is very distinct and features 2 layers of almond paste (one in the middle and one on top) and 11 marzipan apostle balls representing the 11 apostles (minus Judas).
Another sweet treat to eat around this time is a Hot Cross Bun. Originating with the Saxons, and marked with a cross to symbolise the lunar quadrants, they honour Eostre, the goddess of dawn and fertility.
The Victorians transformed the recipe by adding dried fruit and spices, making it sweet and aromatic.
