Bee Sting Cake

Step 1

Prepare the filling.

Step 2

In a saucepan, combine the milk and vanilla on a medium heat and bring to a simmer for 6- 8 minutes. Separate your egg yolks and whisk until pale and smooth. Add in your sieved cornstarch and combine.

Step 3

Whilst whisking slowly start to add in your hot milk until all combined. Sieve the mixture back into the saucepan.

Step 4

On a medium heat whisk your mixture until thickened for 8 – 10 mins. Remove your saucepan from the heat and add your butter, combining into the mix and the chill your filling in the fridge for 3-4 hours.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4 and grease your Grease and line the base and sides of a 20cm springform tin. Beat together all of the almond sponge ingredients until combine and add to your tin.

Step 6

Bake your cake for 50 mins and remove when almost baked – you will get a partially clean skewer to the centre.

Step 7

To make your topping put your butter, sugar, golden syrup and cream in a small pan with a pinch of salt and heat gently until it turns pale.

Step 8

Add your flaked almonds to the topping mix and add to the top of your cooked cake returning to the oven to brown for 8-10 minutes.

Step 9

Once cooled slice the cake in half and fill with the filling, slice and enjoy!
