Steps:
- Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Butter and line a round, deep 20cm cake tin with two layers of baking parchment (see Knowhow, below). Tie a few sheets of newspaper around the outside of the tin, level with the top of the baking parchment.
- Heat the brandy in a small pan, then add the saffron and leave to infuse off the heat for a few mins. Put the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, ground almonds, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a bowl, then beat together until creamy and smooth. Mix the fruit, nuts and brandy saffron mix into the batter and stir well.
- Spoon into the prepared tin, smooth the top and make a slight dip in the middle. Bake for 1½ hrs, then cover loosely with foil to stop the top over-browning. Turn oven down to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1 and cook for 1 hr more until a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin then, while it's still warm, prod the cake all over with a skewer.
- Mix the brandy and honey together and spoon over the cake. Wrap up well in foil and keep in an airtight container until Christmas, feeding with more honeyed brandy every so often.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°. Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, CARDAMOM and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat the honey and butter at medium speed for 2 minutes. Slowly add the sugar, beating constantly. Add the saffron water and the eggs, one at a time, beating 1 minute after each addition. Gradually add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Spread evenly into the pan. Bake at 325° for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. While the cake cools, combine the syrup ingredients and allow to cool slightly. With a long wooden skewer, poke holes in the cake, poking through to the bottom of the pan. Coat the cake with the syrup, using it all and covering the whole top of the cake. Cool completely. In a medium bowl, beat the whipping cream at medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Drizzle in the honey, beating just until blended. Serve the cake with dollops of the whipped cream. Store any leftovers (in the unlikely event that there are any) in the refrigerator. Prep. time: 20 minutes Baking time: 40-45 minutes Serves: 16-24
SAFFRON SCENTED FRESH FIGS WITH CINNAMON AND HONEY
A delectable dessert that makes full use of fresh, luscious, ripe figs with a sophisticated saffron and honey syrup. This is often on my dessert menu when my figs are in season, and is an easy and yet impressive end to any special meal. Although I have suggested that you serve this warm, it is also lovely when served at room temperature or just slightly chilled. Food of the Gods and Goddesses!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 150ºC. Beat the butter, sugar and mint until they begin to change colour. Add small quantities of the egg, coconut and flour, beating well between each addition to prevent the mixture from curdling. Repeat until you have used these ingredients up.
- Line a lightly greased spring-release cake-tin with baking paper. Pour the batter inches Bake for 1-11/2 hours (you can make the mint syrup during this time). Check the cake is baked by inserting a skewer in the centre. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes.
- For the mint syrup.
- Place all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 30- 45 minutes. Strain through a sieve and discard the mint leaves. Use the syrup as directed.
- To assemble.
- Preheat the oven to 170ºC. With the cake still in the tin, prick 60-70 holes in the top. Pour the mint syrup evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak inches.
- Place the butter, honey and almonds in a saucepan and melt them together, stirring until all are well combined. Do not allow to boil. Remove from the heat and immediately spread this topping on the cake.
- Place the cake back in the oven and bake the topping to a light amber colour (about 15 minutes). Remove and allow to cool in the tin for 20-30 minutes. Take the cake out of the tin carefully and while it is still warm, gently remove the baking paper. Dust the cake with icing sugar before serving.
