  1. As a Briton who was taught to make a simnel cake by my mother It was the same as her fruit cake (yes, there is that much fruit in a British fruit cake) but with a layer of marzipan and marzipan on top So it was a "Bury style" simnel cake but I was brought up in Huddersfield not too far from Bury (about 30 miles away but culturally very distant LOL) and my mother was from Liverpool originally.

  3. 300°F is about 150°C and 175°C is more like 350°F which confuses me, could you clarify?

  4.  @K4inan  I fear I may be a living piece of history as I used Briton rather than a longer circumlocution as I hate Brit.
