A trio of treats: rich cognac-soaked fruit cake, a caramel tart with almonds and pistachios, and a super-soft honey cake - simple, indulgent, and full of character.
70% chocolate, combined with a soft, chewy caramel centre topped with a hazelnut brittle.
This was actually my own birthday cake — when you're the chef on a yacht, you're in charge of the kitchen, so you make your own! A simple lemon sponge, soaked in honey and thyme, topped with Italian meringue and finished with a gentle char. Light, zesty, and a little bit celebratory.
