As part of the Great Northern Soul Cake Bake we’d love to hear about your experiments with the historical technical challenge<\/a>. However, if you’d just like to have a go at making tried-and-tested Soul Cakes, here’s a modern recipe supplied by a friend to the project, Ros Barnes<\/a>. You may even have tried Ros’s samples if you’ve attended on of our Souls of the North<\/a> shows.<\/p>\n
