ORANGE-PUMPKIN POPPY SEED CAKE

Steps:

ORANGE & POPPY SEED CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease a 20cm springform cake tin or line a similar-size cake tin with baking paper. Using an electric mixer, combine 200g butter and 200g sugar in a large bowl. Beat until light and creamy, about 2 mins, then add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after you add each one. Tip in the flour and baking powder, mix for a few secs, then add the orange juice, zest of 2 oranges and poppy seeds. Stir everything together, then pour into the cake tin. Bake for 50 mins, then remove from the oven. Cool completely in the tin.
• Meanwhile, make the candied orange zest by combining the remaining zest (finely sliced), 25g sugar and 100ml water in a small pan. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 mins until thick. Remove the zest with a slotted spoon onto a sheet of non-stick baking paper.
• For the sauce, heat the cream in a small pan until nearly boiling. Put the chocolate and remaining butter into a bowl, then pour the hot cream over it and leave for 1 min to melt. Stir together until smooth, then let it sit until the cake is cool (if it hardens, just reheat gently). Drizzle the sauce over the cake, sprinkle with the candied zest and serve.

PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Seed the pumpkin: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Using a spoon, scrape the pulp and seeds out of your pumpkin into a bowl.

• Dry them: Spread the seeds in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet and roast 30 minutes to dry them out.

ORANGE POPPY SEED CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease a 22cm round cake tin or kugelhopf tin and lightly dust with flour, shaking out any excess. 2. Using electric beaters, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla, poppy seeds and orange zest and stir until well combined. 3. Sift the flours into a bowl. Using a large metal spoon, gently fold the flour into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined and almost smooth. 4. Spoon the batter into the prepared tin and smooth over the surface. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven, leave in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire cake rack to cool slightly. 5. While the cake is baking, prepare the candied citrus. Cut the oranges and lemons into slices about 4mm thick. Place 250g of the sugar in a heavy-based frying pan with 80ml (⅓ cup) water. Stir over low heat until the sugar has completely dissolved. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer. Add a quarter of the fruit slices to the syrup and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the fruit is transparent and the syrup is reduced and toffee-like. Lift out the fruit with tongs and cool on a wire rack. 6. Add an extra 90g (heaped ⅓ cup) sugar to the syrup and stir to dissolve. Simmer a second batch of fruit slices in the syrup as before, then remove. Add another 90g sugar to the syrup and stir to dissolve, then simmer a third batch of fruit slices in the syrup, then remove. Repeat with the remaining sugar and fruit slices. Reserve the syrup and allow the candied citrus slices to firm. 7. Place the warm cake, still on the wire rack, over a tray. Pierce all over with a cake skewer, then pour the hot syrup over, allowing it to soak in - if the syrup is too thick, thin it with a little orange juice. Set the cake on a serving plate and arrange some of the firm candied citrus slices over the top. Tip: Orange poppy seed cake is best served within a few hours of decorating. Any left-over candied fruit can be kept between layers of baking paper in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
