Recipe tips
  • Make sure the cake is completely cooled before topping otherwise the cream cheese will melt.
  • Try cutting into small squares before you top it, then pipe a blob of sweetened cream cheese onto each square and sprinkle with orange zest and a piece of walnut.
  • You could use cinnamon in place of mixed spice or try using different nuts such as hazelnuts or almonds.
