These little cakes are the ideal alternative for those who aren’t partial to traditional Christmas fruit cake. A light and moist zesty sponge topped with a thin layer of marzipan and a generous amount of softly set royal icing (which is always the best bit!).
Preheat the oven to 180ºC, 350ºF, Gas Mark 4. Base line an 18cm (7”) square tin.
Place the butter, sugar, flour, eggs and ground almonds into a bowl. Zest three clementines and add to the bowl with the juice of only one clementine, reserve the remaining fruit for juicing later. Beat the cake ingredients together thoroughly with an electric hand whisk until light and fluffy.
Pour the cake mix into the tin and bake for 45-55 minutes until springy to the touch and cooked through. Leave to cool slightly then prick the cake all over with a skewer or cocktail stick. Juice the remaining fruit and add the 2tbsp icing sugar to make a syrup. Heat the syrup gently in a small pan, or in the microwave. Pour over the cake. Leave to cool completely before cutting into 20 squares.
To decorate, roll out the marzipan until quite thin (about the thickness of a 50 pence piece), and use to cover each cake. Make the icing according to the pack instructions and ice each cake all over. Spike the icing with a knife for a snowy effect. Leave to set before topping each with a little zest.
TOP TIP
If you fancy a bit of variety on top of the snowy cakes, pop a bit of lemon zest on the icing as well as the orange!

Yes it`s here, National Tea Day and the ideal time to share one of our favourite shortbread recipes using fragrant Earl Grey tea.
Here`s how to make Earl Grey & Lemon Shortbread:
Prep Time – 30 mins (4 hours to chill)
Yield – 12 – 16 (dependant on the size of your cutters)
Ingredients
Biscuits
50g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar
250g unsalted butter
2 tbsp of Earl Grey Tea
220g plain flour
Pinch of salt
Icing
A squeeze of lemon
100g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar
Instructions
Combine your tea leaves and butter, leaving overnight preferably to infuse. You can cover in a bowl and leave to the side as this mix shouldn’t be chilled.
Add your butter mix to a bowl your sugar and combine, then add the flour salt until a dough forms
Roll out your dough mix until even – about half an inch thick and cut with your biscuit cutter.
Pop onto a baking sheet and into a preheated oven at 180°C/ 160°C fan/ gas mark 4/ 350°F and bake for 15 mins. Keep and eye on them as they can burn quickly.
Whilst they cool make your icing and then drizzle generously once the biscuits are completely cold.
