Morrisons Free From Bakewell Tart - 205g

The Bakewell tart takes its name from a small town in Derbyshire and has spent most of its life on doilies, at village fetes and beside a teapot in somebody's nan's front room. It is a cake that never needed reinventing, and nobody has seriously tried.

Morrisons is a household name across the north of England, and plenty of people who move to Canada find they miss the supermarket as much as anything they bought in it. Search for this tart and you are really searching for that Saturday shop.

It is a modest cake, the sort that does four people politely or two people honestly. It sits in the cupboard without complaint until someone remembers it is there. Slice it cold with a cup of tea, or warm it for a few seconds and add a spoon of custard if you are that kind of household.

It keeps good company with a box of proper British tea bags, a packet of digestives or a jar of lemon curd for the morning toast. Lay out a small afternoon tea and see how quickly people find an excuse to drop by.
