Ingredients:

185 grams (1 1⁄4 cups) raw unsalted cashews
100 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
150 grams (3⁄4 cups) CSR Rapadura Sugar
4 egg yolks
120 grams (2⁄3 cup) semolina
90 grams (1⁄4 cup) honey
2 teaspoons rosewater

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 150°C (or 130°C fan forced) and grease and line a 20cm cake tin with baking
paper.
2. Place the cashews in a food processor and blitz until finely chopped.
3. Cream the butter and rapadura sugar together in an electric mixer until pale and creamy then
add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well between each addition. Now fold through the cashew
meal, semolina, honey, rosewater and spices.
4. Beat the egg whites together until firm peaks then, very gently, fold this mixture into the cake
batter.
5. Spoon mixture into the cake tin and smooth over the top. Bake for 1 hour or until the top is firm

like this.
