đ° The Landlord Fruit Cake
Bothamâs of Whitby take vine fruits and steep them in Timothy Taylorâs Landlord Pale Ale before combining them with ground almonds and aromatic/subtle spices. The result is a richer, darker and more malty fruit cake than their traditional fruit cake, which uses sherry instead.
A little taste of Whitby history đ°đ
⢠Bothamâs of Whitby has been baking since 1865.
⢠It was founded by Elizabeth Botham, who began selling her baking from a green handcart around Whitby.
⢠Elizabeth and her husband John had 14 children!
⢠Their famous Skinner Street shop originally included a bakery, tea rooms and even an ale house.
⢠Bothamâs remains family owned and is now in its fifth generation.
