I have fond memories of my Mum making this at Easter. We used to decorate with marzipan balls to represent each Apostle. Thanks for converting to the thermy. Hoppy Easter.
Thank you Tanja - I have only ever eaten this cake at Easter church service, but this recipe and a thermomix has changed everything! I even used the marzipan decoration but, I think I will use this recipe instead of fruitcake. Thanks
