Hi, my name is Anita. I love bread baking, especially sourdough breads, cheese making and cooking from scratch. My favorite cuisines are French and Asian. Most recipes here are in English; some are in Dutch. If one is to your liking, let me know: I will be glad to translate.

Packed with aromatic spices, nuts, honey and fruit, there’s a lot to like about this cake. We then decided to go for total indulgence and top it with dulce de leche – the choice is yours.

5 large eggs, size 7, separated

250 grams butter, at room temperature

200 grams runny honey (I used a floral honey)

⅓ cup plain yoghurt or sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1⅓ cups plain flour

120 grams hazelnuts, roasted and finely ground

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon each ground cardamom, cinnamon and ginger

1 red apple, peeled and diced

1 small red apple, skin left on, cored and thinly sliced,

purchased dulche de leche, to serve (optional)

subheading: CRUMBLE:

¼ cup plain flour

¼ cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon each ground cinnamon and ginger

½ teaspoon ground mixed spice

50 grams butter, diced

¼ cup finely chopped hazelnuts

YOU’LL NEED...
