This was a house warming cake that I invented when I realised that I didn’t have the right ingredients for the one I had originally planned to make. The sponge had almond running through it and the topping was a glossy buttery caramel with a splash of brandy added before I combined it with a selection of nuts. I pierced the top of the warm cake and poured on the caramelised nuts so it soaked into the sponge. The result was a deliciously moist, slightly alcoholic cake with a buttery caramel topping which glazed the nuts but wasn’t the kind to stick your teeth together. It was a very successful experiment and has inspired me to make miniature caramel nut cakes. I need an event to make them for though…
