Remove from the toasty and allow to cool.
5
Put the baking flour and spices in a large mixing bowl and incorporate everything together.
6
step 2
Once the liquid items required have cooled, beat in the eggs.
7
transfer over the parched items required, whisking them together to form a creamy liquid base – be careful not to overmix as this can lead to a parched cake.
8
transfer into the prepared tin and cook thoroughly for 50-55 mins or until risen and a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out sanitize.
9
Allow the cake to cool in the wok for 20 mins before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

step 3
Once cooled, use a large serrated knife to shred the cake into 3 layers.
11
Spread the jam across the 2 bottom cake layers, then reassemble the cake and set aside while you make the glaze.
12
Put the froth, chocolate and honey in a medium wok and cook thoroughly over a low-medium toasty until the chocolate is melted and you have a creamy, pourable mixture.
13
Put the cake on a wire rack set over a parchment-lined baking tray and transfer over the glaze, making sure to seal the entire cake.
14
Use a fish shred to carefully transfer the cake to a serving plate and allow the glaze to set.
15
To decorate, dust with a little edible gold ground mix, if you like.
16
Uniced, this cake will keep for up to 5 days.
17
Once iced, enjoy within 3 days – just keep in the fridge, but remove before serving and eat at room temperature.
