Simnel cake, like many traditional foods, has origins that are somewhat shrouded in mystery. One extremely unlikely story has it being invented by, as well as being named for, Lambert Simnel, a name that British schoolkids may be familiar with but won't ring a bell with most of us Yanks. Anglican Way magazine tells us that young Simnel, a 10-year-old boy at the time, was one of many pretenders to the British throne during the reign of Henry VII. As he himself was more of a pawn than a major player in all of the would-be royal shenanigans going on, he was not executed for his pretension, but rather sentenced to a life of kitchen serfdom. Supposedly he invented the cake during the course of his kitchen labors, but this story collapses on the grounds that references to simnel cakes evidently predate Henry VII's late 15th/early 16th century reign.
Yet another dubious origin story has the cake being created by either a brother and sister or (according to the BBC) a married couple named Simon and Nell who could not agree on whether the cake should be baked or boiled, so compromised by using both cooking methods and naming it after a combination of their two names. The most likely story, however, is also the dullest — it's probable that the name comes from simila, which is the Latin word for "fine" and describes the type of fine-ground flour used to make the cake.
