Lardy Cake

When my Grandma used to make this cake she would call it ‘fat cake’! Don’t let that stand in the way of you trying this traditional English tea bread - it is deliciously moist and perks up any afternoon cup of tea with a sugary, fruity hit. The recipe just doesn’t work if you substitute butter for the lard, so I’m afraid it’s not suitable for vegetarians. Shame, though all the more for us!
