Lightly knead the dough then roll it out

To make the topping heat the butter,
sugar, honey and cream in a pan on
the hob and bring to the boil. Add the
chopped pine nuts and sliced almonds.
Leave to cool. Make indentations in the
dough with your fingers and then
spread the cooled topping smoothly
over the dough. Prove the cake for
another 10 minutes and then bake until
golden.
Make the filling by heating up the
vanilla custard powder with the milk,
sugar and salt. Leave to cool. In the

stir the pudding mix into it a spoonful at
a time.
Cut the cake through the middle when it
has cooled down. Spread the bottom
layer with the filling and then carefully
place the top layer on the filling. Leave
