Step 1

Make the black tea, let it cool down (put it in the fridge), and preheat the oven to 180c (160c fan).

Step 2

In a large bowl mix your wet ingredients using a baloon whisk. First, beat the 2 eggs, then add the 80g sugar, 180g honey, 80g Greek yoghurt, 100ml oil, 100ml tea, 1 tsp vanilla and the zest from half orange, whisking until smooth.

Step 3

In another bowl pass the 220 grams flour through a fine sieve (that will give the cake a more fluffy and airy texture) and mix well with baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, allspice and cinnamon. You can even skip the second bowl and do all that directly in the bowl with the wet ingredients.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet into the dry ingredients bowl and whisk gently until you have a brown, well-blended, quite runny batter.

Step 5

Line a 21cm loaf tin with baking paper (or use one of these 2lb liners) and tip the batter into the tin. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Once the cake is out, and cooled, ask your little helper to pour some honey over the top and sprinkle some nuts and orange bits.
