Melton Hunt Cake
A true country classic, Melton Hunt Cake is rich, dark and packed with fruit, nuts and warming spice. Originally baked in the Leicestershire hunting season to keep riders going through cold days in the saddle, it’s a proper slice of tradition. Moist and deeply flavoured, this cake keeps beautifully and tastes even better as the days go by. Perfect with a pot of tea or a wedge of cheese, just as they do in the Midlands.
