Cómo preparar Love Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F). Grease and line a 20cm square tin with two thicknesses of greaseproof paper, ensuring the paper extends slightly over the edges.
  2. Brush the inner greaseproof paper with melted butter.
  3. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and semolina until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and caster sugar until thick, pale and creamy.
  5. Gradually add the semolina and butter mixture to the egg yolks, beating until thoroughly incorporated.
  6. Stir in the chopped cashews, pumpkin preserve, rose water, honey, lemon zest, and spices until evenly distributed.
  7. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  8. Stir in the almond essence and brandy (if using).
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 90 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown. The cake should feel firm to the touch.
  11. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely in the tin before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack.
  12. Once completely cool, cut into small squares and serve as is, or with a dollop of custard or vanilla ice cream.
