Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of vegetable oil in the cake batter.

Add chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) to the crumble topping for extra crunch.

Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Warm the cake slightly before serving to enhance the flavors and aroma.

"The earthy, slightly sweet flavour of Jersey Royal potatoes provides a refreshing counterpoint to the richness of the carrot and lentil soup. The peppery watercress and bright lemon-dill vinaigrette cut through the creaminess, cleansing the palate and preparing it for the main course."
