  • Using a shot glass or your hands, press down to make the sides come up and create a cup look with the indentation.
  • Bake for about 12-15 mins until golden brown.
  • Shape when it comes straight out of the oven if it has lost shape using a small spoon.

Chocolate Orange 

  • Melt 300g of dark chocolate in a Bain Marie ensuring it doesn't touch the water. 
  • Add 1/2 tsp of orange extract and 50g of butter/coconut oil. Melt until smooth and silky, if more butter or oil is needed add to the mix. Consistency should be not too runny and not too thick.

Citrus Honey glazed cake 

Citrus Honey Cake
INGREDIENCE  
  • 250g honey, plus about 2 tbsp extra to glaze
  • 225g unsalted butter
  • 100g dark muscovado sugar
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 300g self-raising flour
METHOD
  • Preheat the oven to fan 140C/ conventional 160C/gas 3. Butter and line a 20cm round cake tin. Cut the butter into pieces and put into a medium pan with the honey and sugar. Melt slowly over a low heat. When the mixture looks quite liquid, increase the heat under the pan and boil for about one minute. Leave to cool for 15-20 minutes, to prevent the eggs cooking when they are mixed in.
  • Beat the eggs into the melted honey mixture using a wooden spoon. Sift the flour into a large bowl and pour in the egg and honey mixture, beating until you have a smooth, quite runny batter.
  • Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 50 minutes-1 hour until the cake is well-risen, golden brown and springs back when pressed. A skewer pushed into the centre of the cake should come out clean.
  • Turn the cake out on a wire rack. Warm 2 tbsp honey in a small pan and brush over the top of the cake to give a sticky glaze. Sprinkle over some chopped pistachios (optional) then leave to cool.
