Method

  1. Mix together the currants, sultanas, sherry and lemon zest in a bowl. Cover and leave to marinate overnight.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180c/gas 4.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry thinly. Using a cutter or tumbler, cut out pastry rounds approximately 6cm in diameter.

  7. Bake the Eccles cake for 10 minutes, until golden. Remove and cool.
  8. Serve the Eccles cake with rum mascarpone, berries and mint.
