Lardy Cake is a TRADITIONAL rich spiced bread from Southern England
Lardy cake, also known as lardy bread, lardy Johns, dough cake, or fourses cake, is a traditional rich spiced form of bread found in several southern counties of England, notably Hampshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire. Particularly popular in Berkshire. It's known for its lard, sugar, and dried fruit layers.
The history of lardy cake dates back to at least the 19th century, although its exact origins are unclear.
Lardy cake is a fine example of how regional ingredients and practical needs can give rise to a distinctive local food tradition, reflecting the history and culture of its place of origin.

Ingredients:
- 500g strong white bread flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp mixed spice (or a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice)
- 50g caster sugar
- 15g fresh yeast (or 7g dried yeast) I used dry yeast
- 300ml warm milk
- 150g lard, softened
- 150g mixed dried fruit (such as sultanas, currants, and candied peel)
- Extra caster sugar for sprinkling
Glaze: 50%/50% Golden syrup/water
Mixed spice
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp coriander
NOTE: TIP - If the lardy cake is cooking too quickly, you can cover it with aluminum foil. If you feel it's not quite cooked to your liking after turning it upside down, turn it upside down to brown the bottom. I have used the procedure in the past very successfully. Every oven cooks differently.
I cooked at 165c - 330F for 27 mins - Because I was using an air fryer - regular oven 175c - 350f 25-30mins
You can cook this amazing dish in any oven; the oven I use is a HYSapientia 24L Air fryer oven

Making a Wiltshire Lardy Cake with my mum
No raisins or sultanas were harmed during the making of this cake.
***This video is intentionally slow*** - some cuts are taken while cake is in the oven, smoke alarm reset, etc. Otherwise it's real-time baking goodness.
