Fairy bread truffle balls

store-bought madeira cake,

white chocolate, chopped

(2 cups) icing sugar

50.00 gm boiling water

(1 cup) hundreds and thousands (or sprinkles of your choice)

Step 1

Process the madeira cake in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Stir until smooth. Add the cake crumbs and stir to combine.

Step 2

Roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls, squeezing firmly as you roll. Place the hundreds and thousands on a plate.

Step 3

Combine the icing sugar and boiling water in a small bowl. Use 2 forks to carefully dip a truffle into the icing to coat. Tap forks on side of bowl to remove excess (you only need a very thin coating). Carefully roll in hundreds and thousands to coat. Transfer to a tray. Repeat with remaining truffles, icing and hundreds and thousands. Set aside to set. Place in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Today&#x27;s recipe is one my grandmother used to make regularly, Victorian Seed Cake.

It was always on the tea time table, and was often served buttered, which made it even more delicious.

It&#x27;s based on a traditional Madeira Cake recipe, but with candied peel and caraway seeds added.

Seed cakes were extremely popular during the Victorian era, and indeed Mrs Beeton shares a recipe called A Very Good Seed Cake, in her book of Household Management.

We all love seed cake - the aniseed flavour of the caraway seeds marries so well with the light sponge and subtle spices. 

Our family recipe for Victorian Seed Cake always includes candied peel, which makes the cake moister. 

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did last Sunday, for my Tea Tray Supper.

The cake keeps well in an airtight cake tin for up to a week.
