Steps:
- Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy and light. Add the zest and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift the flour and ginger. Fold into the creamy mix.
- Pour batter into a greased and lined 26 cm spring form tin.
- Bake at 150oC for 50-60 minutes (or until cooked when tested).
- Meanwhile, when the cake is cooking: place the syrup ingredients in a saucepan. Dissolve the sugar over a low heat. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Skim off any scum that arises. Reduce heat slightly and simmer for 10 minutes (you should have just over a cup of syrup).
- Remove the cake from the oven when cooked, pierce the top of the cake all over with a skewer, carefully pour the syrup all over the cake. Leave to cool completely.
- Remove the cake from the pan and slice into wedges.
ALMOND CAKE WITH SAFFRON AND HONEY
This is a lovely moist cake that keeps well and may be made several days in advance of serving. Stored well wrapped and at room temperature, its flavor only improves. For best results, grind blanched almonds to make your own almond meal. If you wish, accompany with a little whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch diameter cake pan and line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the semolina, sugar, almonds, baking powder and salt. Whisk in eggs and melted butter. Add the orange and lemon zests and almond extract and beat well. Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Invert onto a wire rack and let cool.
- As cake cools, make the syrup: Put orange juice, sugar, honey, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, saffron and apricots in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve sugar, and then simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Set aside. Transfer cake to a serving plate. Use a skewer to poke holes all over and slowly pour syrup evenly over cake. Once the syrup has cooled slightly, arrange the spices and apricots on top of the cake to your liking. Leave cake for at least an hour to fully absorb syrup, or, if possible, wrap and store in a cool place (don't refrigerate) for up to 5 days.
