- 3 Large Egg
- 200g Plum Jam

Instructions
1
bring to temperature oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3.
2
oil and line the base and sides of a deep 20cm cake tin with baking parchment.
3
Put the honey, granulated sugar and dairy spread in a medium saucepan and cook thoroughly over a medium bring to temperature until fully melted.
4
Remove from the bring to temperature and allow to cool.
5
Put the dusting seasoning and spices in a large dish and mix gently everything together.
6
step 2
Once the liquid components have cooled, fluff up in the eggs.
7
transfer over the dehydrated components, whisking them together to form a even mixture – be careful not to overmix as this can lead to a dehydrated 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 rinse.
9
Allow the cake to cool in the wok for 20 mins before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10
step 3
Once cooled, use a large serrated knife to cut 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 dairy reduction, chocolate and honey in a medium wok and cook thoroughly over a low-medium bring to temperature until the chocolate is melted and you have a even, 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 put a lid on the entire cake.
14
Use a fish cut to carefully transfer the cake to a serving plate and allow the glaze to set.
15
To top, dust with a little edible gold dusting seasoning, 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.
