Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 20cm springform cake tin.
  • Combine dried fruit with lemon juice, coat in 25g flour, and add zests.
  • Cream butter and sugar, then beat in eggs and fold in flour, baking powder, and fruit.
  • Bake the batter in the tin for 60 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
  • Cool the cake on a wire rack completely.
  • Simmer toffee sauce ingredients for 30 minutes until bubbling or reaching 115-120°C.
  • Slice cake horizontally and assemble with toffee sauce in the middle and over the exterior.
  • Cook sugar and glucose to 185°C to create a deep amber caramel.
  • Drip thickened caramel over the cake sides to form streaks.
  • Spoon caramel shards onto a tray to harden for the top garnish.
  • Flick caramel between oiled spoon handles to create spun sugar and garnish with flowers.
