Preparation of Love cake Recipe

Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush a 27 x 32cm (base measurement) lamington pan with melted butter to lightly grease. Line the base and sides with non-stick baking paper, allowing the sides to overhang.

Use an electric beater to beat the egg yolks in a large bowl for 4-5 minutes or until pale. Add sugar and beat for 8 minutes or until the mixture is thick and pale and a ribbon trail forms when the whisk is lifted.

Use a wooden spoon to stir together the semolina and butter in a large bowl. Gradually add the semolina mixture to the egg-yolk mixture and beat for 10 minutes or until well combined. Keeping the beater on a low speed, gradually add the cashews (the mixture will become very thick). Add the rosewater and beat until combined. Add the honey, lemon rind, nutmeg and cinnamon and beat for 1 minute or until well combined.

Spoon mixture into prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake in oven for 30 minutes. Reduce temperature to 150°C. Cover with foil and bake for a further 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Set aside for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
