Orange blossom, lemon thyme and almond cake

This stunning cake sees zesty orange and almond sponge slathered in honey and orange blossom cream, then drizzled in rosé red berry syrup. Why not bake it as a Mother’s Day surprise or for a summery afternoon tea centrepiece?

Or, for another elegant sponge made with citrus and raspberries, try this raspberry and lemon sponge cake.
