Nigel Slater's recipes for a teatime fruit cake and an orange and almond layer cake
Briefly

An old-fashioned fruit cake brings nostalgia and comfort, with dark muscovado sugar adding depth; it’s the perfect afternoon companion alongside tea.
Layer cakes, such as a sponge topped with orange curd and mascarpone, serve as a special treat, even during ordinary times of the year.
The teatime fruit cake is less dense than a Christmas variant, showcasing a simpler blend of dried fruits, making it ideal for casual gatherings.
Pairing cake with a clear tea like lemon verbena adds a refreshing contrast and enhances the cake's citrus notes, creating a delightful flavor experience.
