SCOTTISH SEED CAKE RECIPE

This recipe will teach you how to make Scottish Seed Cake. It is a quick and easy recipe to make. This is a fantastic tasting cake. With the mixture of caraway seeds, nutmeg, mixed peel and almonds mixed with the rest of the ingredients is what gives the Scottish Seed Cake its sensational flavour. It is usually made in a loaf pan but I prefer to make it in a ring cake tin as it just makes it look really special.
