  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 3 Large Egg
  • 200g Plum Jam
  • 225ml Double Cream
  • 140g Dark Chocolate
  • 3 tablespoons Clear Honey

Instructions

1
bring to temperature oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3.
2
lubricate and line the base and sides of a deep 20cm cake tin with baking parchment.
3
Put the honey, granulated sugar and shortening in a medium saucepan and bring to temperature over a medium bring to temperature until fully melted.
4
Remove from the bring to temperature and allow to cool.
5
Put the ground mix and spices in a large dish and toss together everything together.
6
step 2 Once the liquid items required have cooled, beat in the eggs.
7
empty over the arid items required, whisking them together to form a velvety paste – be careful not to overmix as this can lead to a arid cake.
8
empty into the prepared tin and oven-cook for 50-55 mins or until risen and a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out wash.
9
Allow the cake to cool in the cooking vessel for 20 mins before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10
step 3 Once cooled, use a large serrated knife to carve 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 heavy cream, chocolate and honey in a medium cooking vessel and bring to temperature over a low-medium bring to temperature until the chocolate is melted and you have a velvety, pourable mixture.
13
Put the cake on a wire rack set over a parchment-lined baking tray and empty over the glaze, making sure to seal the entire cake.
14
Use a fish carve to carefully transfer the cake to a serving plate and allow the glaze to set.
15
To embellish, 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.
