Tested

"I tried this cake as a base for my first ever attempt at marzipan & fondant covered/ decorated cake. Everyone loved the taste of the cake but ifound it very difficult to cut/slice at room temperature due to the full almonds and possible because the whitworths mix i used had almost all raisins/sultanas etc and hardly any glaced fruit. Will be trying it again with a more balanced mix, chopped almonds. I have to add that once refrigerated for about 4 ¬5 hours i managed to shape a rectangular cake into a cross shape quite easily."
