Raspberry spice cake



 








Ingredients

For the cake

·         250g packbutter, softened

·         450g plain flour
·         140g golden caster sugar
·         140g light soft brown sugar
·         5 large egg
·         4 tbsp honey 2 tsp baking powder         
1 tsp cinnamon 
1 tsp mixed spice

·         ½ tsp ground cloves
·         ½ tsp ground ginger
·         ¼ tsp salt
·         4 tbsp buttermilk

For the filling & icing

·         200g raspberry jam
·         200g raspberry, plus extra to decorate (optional)

·         200g pack butter , softened

·         200g pack soft cheese
·         200g icing sugar, sifted, plus extra for dusting (optional)





Method

1.    Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line 3 x 20cm cake tins with baking parchment. Tip all the cake ingredients into a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until smooth. Divide between tins and bake for 25 mins until a skewer poked in comes out clean. Turn out onto wire racks to cool.
2.    Split each cake in half. Mash the jam and raspberries together, then spread over 5 cake halves, leaving 1 top half free. Sandwich together, with the plain cake on top. Put on a plate and cling film thoroughly. Invert a cake tin on top like a hat and top with 3 x 400g food cans. Leave overnight.
3.    To finish, beat the butter, cheese and icing sugar together, then spread over the cake. Decorate with extra raspberries and a dusting of icing sugar, if you like.
