Fern cake was a beloved staple of local Scottish bakeries in the 1970s and 80s. A nostalgic treat that evokes a sense of charm and simplicity, it’s definitely time to bring it back to our kitchen tables. Buttery crisp shortcrust pastry, fruity raspberry jam, squidgy almondy frangipane and a soft iced topping with a delicate fern design. Your Bakewell tart has just had an upgrade!
