Simnel cake.
Simnel cake is a light fruit cake, not too different from traditional Christmas cake, however simnel cake is usually eaten around Easter time in Britain and Ireland. It often has marzipan or almond paste baked into in and is covered with marzipan and often there are 12 balls of marzipan as decoration to represent the disciples of Jesus, hence the Easter theme although they can be seen as a mothers day tradition. Most simnel cake recipes consist basically of Flour, Sugar, Eggs, Fragrant spices, candied peel, zest and dried fruits

He was a youth that "pretended" that he was one of the Princes in the Tower, who were supposedly murdered
Perkin Warbeck and Lambert Simnel were both figures involved in pretender claims to the English throne during the late 15th century. Lambert Simnel, a boy claiming to be Edward, Earl of Warwick, was supported by Yorkist factions in 1487 and challenged Henry VII. Perkin Warbeck, who claimed to be Richard, Duke of York, was active in the 1490s and garnered support from various European courts. Both pretenders ultimately failed in their attempts to usurp the throne and faced dire consequences.
It is called a Simnel Cake. The name is a mystery but may mean that it was originally made with semolina flour. Originally the cake was made for Mothering Sunday, not Easter, by the way, and would be given to mothers by daughters. There are normally eleven marzipan balls on top of the cake; these represent Jesus' disciples, of whom there were twelve but treacherous Judas is excluded leaving eleven. Hope this helps.
Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck pretended to be Richard, Duke of York, to challenge the legitimacy of the Tudor monarchy and to claim the English throne. Simnel, initially posing as the Duke in 1487, aimed to exploit discontent with Henry VII's rule, while Warbeck, who emerged in the 1490s, sought to rally support from disaffected factions, including foreign powers. Both figures represented the continued threat of Yorkist claims to the throne after the Wars of the Roses. Their pretensions highlighted the ongoing political instability in England during this period.
