Steps:
- Using a rolling pin, roll out half of the dough into a 16-inch square on a lightly floured work surface. Cover remaining half with plastic; set aside. In a small bowl, combine spices. In a large bowl, combine dried fruit.
- Spread 2 ounces shortening over top of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around perimeter. Sprinkle 6 tablespoons turbinado sugar over shortening. Sprinkle one-fourth of combined spices over sugar. Sprinkle one-fourth of dried fruit over spices. Using the palms of your hands, gently press fruit into dough.
- Fold 4 corners of square into center, creating a smaller square, enclosing filling. Gently press down on dough with rolling pin. Spread 2 ounces shortening over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around perimeter. Sprinkle 6 tablespoons sugar, another one-fourth of spices, and another one-fourth of fruit. Using palms of your hands, gently press fruit into dough; fold dough into thirds.
- Transfer dough to a piece of parchment paper; roll dough out into an 11-by-17-inch rectangle. Carefully lifting parchment, transfer to baking sheet. Let stand about 20 minutes.

- Bake cakes until golden and puffed, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Lardy cake will keep for up to 1 day, wrapped in aluminum foil; reheat cake before serving.
LARDY CAKE
This recipe has a generous amount of dried fruit in a rich dough that's lighter and less sweet than most shop-bought lardy cakes.

Steps:
- Mix together the flour, salt and yeast in a mixing bowl. Rub in 20g/¾oz of the lard using your fingertips until there are no pieces of lard visible.
- Add three-quarters of the water and hand-mix the flour into the water to form a dough. Add as much of the remaining water as you need to get a dough that is soft and leaves the sides of the bowl clean.
- Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth. Place in a clean bowl, cover and leave to rise until doubled in size. This depends on the temperature of the room, but should take 1-2 hours.
- Tip the dough onto a floured work surface and roll into a rectangle about 20x50cm/8x20in and about ½cm thick.
- Dot a third of the remaining lard and a third of the butter over the surface of the dough. Scatter over a third of the fruit and a third of the sugar. Fold the top third of the dough down and the bottom third up so that the dough is folded in three and roughly square. Turn the dough a quarter turn. Roll out and repeat the out process twice more, to use up all the lard and fruit.
- Line a 23x23cm/9x9in square loose bottomed tin with baking parchment. Roll out the dough to fit the tin and place it inside. Cover with clingfilm, or place inside a large plastic bag, and leave to rise for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden-brown.
- Leave to cool slightly before removing from the tin. Cut into squares and serve warm or cold, with butter.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. You will need 2 x 20cm loose-bottomed sandwich tins, greased and bases lined with baking parchment. Measure all the cake ingredients into a large bowl (reserve a little orange zest for decoration) and beat with a wooden spoon or electric hand mixer until combined and smooth.
- Divide evenly between the 2 tins. Bake for 20-25 mins or until well risen, lightly golden and shrinking away from the sides of the tins. After 5 mins, remove from the tins and leave to cool on a wire rack.
- To make the icing, put the butter and icing sugar into a bowl and mix with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in the orange zest.
- Remove the paper from the cakes. Sit 1 cake upside down on a plate. Make the glaze by putting the caster sugar and orange juice into a saucepan, stirring over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Boil until reduced by half, then brush half on the upside-down cake, using a pastry brush. Spread half the butter icing over the glazed cake. Sit the other cake on top, brush with the remaining glaze, then spread with the remaining butter icing. Scatter with the reserved orange zest. The cake is best eaten on the day, but will keep for up to 3 days in a cool place. It freezes well un-iced or filled.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour with 2 tsp salt, then rub in 50g of the lard until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Leave the remaining lard at room temperature to soften.
- In a jug, mix the yeast, milk and eggs together, then add it to the flour, holding back a little liquid. Mix until it forms a soft dough, adding a splash more liquid if it feels too dry, or a little flour if too wet. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10 mins, then put it back in the cleaned mixing bowl, cover with cling film and leave in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hr.
- Mix the dried fruit in a bowl and pour over the hot tea. Leave to soak for at least 45 mins. Grease a 23cm springform cake tin with a little lard, line the baking parchment and grease the parchment with lard too.
- Drain off any excess tea from the fruit, then mix with the remaining lard, the mixed spice and sugar. Roll the dough out to a 40 x 20cm rectangle. Spread half the dried fruit and lard mixture over the surface. With the shorter end facing you, fold the top third of the dough down into the middle, then fold the bottom third up to overlap, sealing in the fruit. Give the dough a quarter turn, roll it out to around the same size as before and spread the dough with the rest of the lard mixture. Fold as before, then turn the dough over.
- Put the dough into your prepared tin and press it down gently to shape it to fit the tin. Cover with cling film and leave to prove for 30 mins-1 hr or until doubled in size. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- Uncover and bake for 55 mins-1 hr or until golden brown and cooked through. Leave to cool for 5 mins in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack. Mix the icing sugar with 1 tsp water to make a runny icing, then drizzle over the cake. Sprinkle with more caster sugar. Best serves warm with a warm cup of tea.

LARDY CAKE
A very traditional recipe from SW England - lardy cake is *not* for those on diets! It is a sort of layered dough cake thing with a sticky, crunchy glaze on the bottom. It seems to be similar to Cornish heava cakes. This recipe comes from "Mary Berry's Complete Cookbook" and calls for large amounts of "white vegetable fat". I've always made this with lard (pork fat) purely because of it being called "LARDy cake" Strong white flour is whatever you'd use to make bread with - if I've got it right, it should contain more gluten than ordinary cake flour. Cooking time includes rising times.

LARDY CAKE
This recipe has been in my family for at least 4 generations, since at least the 1870s. It is recommended that it be served hot, with real butter. The amount of honey is a guess - the original recipe said "Honey to drizzle" but didn't give a quantity.

LARDY CAKE (LARDY BREAD)
Lardy cake originates from Wiltshire, and in the West Country local bakers still make it to their own recipes, cramming in as much lard, sugar, and fruit as they or their customers choose. This is not in the least a healthy dish but it's heartwarming and a feel-good food. Serve plain or with butter.

Steps:
- Sprinkle yeast into 1 cup warm water with the pinch of sugar. Leave until frothy, about 15 minutes.
- Put the flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in 1 tablespoon lard with 2 knives or pastry blender. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast liquid. Beat with an electric mixer until a dough forms and starts to pull away cleanly from the sides of the bowl, adding more water if necessary.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a clean bowl and cover with a clean tea towel. Leave in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Turn risen dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to a 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Dot 1/3 of the remaining lard over the surface, then sprinkle with 1/3 each of the raisins, currants, orange zest, and sugar. Fold the bottom third of the dough up and then the top third down and give a quarter turn on the work surface. Repeat the process twice more, starting with the rolling.
- Grease an 8x10-inch pan. Roll out the layered dough to fit and place in the pan. Cover and leave in a warm place until puffy, about 30 minutes. Score the top in a criss-cross pattern with a knife.

MARTHA STEWART'S LARDY CAKE
Got this recipe from the Martha Stewart website. I have been holding onto it to try one day and wanted to post it for safe keeping. My mouth just waters thinking of the Lardy Cakes Ted Carter used to make when we would go to my Grandparents house in East Hanney England. He had a wonderful bakery just down the road from thier house. If this is even half as good as his, I'll be thrilled! Prep time is a guesstimate and does not include rise times or time for sponge to set.

Steps:
- To make the sponge - In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine 1/4 c warm water (110 degrees) and first set of yeast. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Add 1 1/4 c warm water and flour.

Store sponge, refrigerated up to 1 week or freeze in plastic up to 3 months. Bring to room temperature before using.
- To make dough - With paddle attachement on mixer, combine 1 c warm water and second set of yeast. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup warm water and 3 1/2 cups of the sponge that has been pulled into small pieces. Mix on low until combined, about 2 minutes.

- Lightly flour a work surface. Turn out dough and knead 4-5 turns into a ball. Place smooth side up in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, slightly blistered and satiny, about an hour. Punch down dough and fold over 4-5 times. Place folded side face down in bowl. Cover and let rise again until doubled and satiny, about 50 minutes. Divide dough in half and wrap in plastic until ready to use.
- To make cake - Using a rolling pin, roll out half of the dough into a 16" square on a lightly floured surface. Cover remaining half with plastic and set aside.
- In small bowl, combine spices. In a large bowl combine dried fruit.
- Spread 4 T of butter over top of dough, leaving 1/2" border around perimeter. Sprinkle 6 T brown sugar over butter. Sprinkle 1/4 of the spices over the sugar and 1/4 of the fruit over the spices. Using palm of hand gently press fruit into dough. Fold four corners of square into the center, creating a smaller square, enclosing the filling. Gently press dough down with a rolling pin. Spread 2 oz butter over dough, leaving a 1/2" border around perimeter. Sprinkle 6 T brown sugar over butter. Sprinkle another 1/4 of the spices over the sugar and another 1/4 of the fruit over the spices. Using palm of hand gently press fruit into dough. Fold dough into thirds.
- Transfer dough to a piece of parchment paper; roll out into an 11"x16" rectangle. Carefully lifting parchement paper; transfer to baking sheet. Refrigerate 20 minutes to chill butter.
- Repeat with remaining dough, butter, brown sugar, spices and dried fruit.
- Heat oven to 350 degreees.
- Combine jam and brandy in a small saucepan. Set over low heat; cook until liquified. Strain mixture; discard solids. Brush surface of lardy cakes with jam mixture.

- Lardy cake will keep up to 3 days, very tightly wrapped in plastic. Reheat cake before serving.
