I’d love to share the recipe for this as it worked perfectly, but alas it was one of those throw-in-the-pan-and-see-what-happens kind of icings, with some honey, butter, icing sugar, a little chocolate… you get the picture! The sticking part didn’t take much icing at all as the cake was so moist, but I more than made up for it with lots of sticky icing on the outside. Once I was happy with the stacking, I dis-assembled down to the bottom two layers, and filled them with a generous mix of chocolate and honeycomb pieces (I highly recommend Crunchie Rocks – a ready-made version of this!)įinally I needed to stick the cakes together, and cover with icing. I ended up with three ‘rings’ of cakes on the bottom (circles with holes in the middle), and two ‘solid’ circle layers for the top. Once cool, I used various circular elements from round the kitchen (a bowl, a glass, and a spray oil lid for the smallest one!), to cut concentric circles out from the middles of the large cakes. I baked the cake in two slightly different size round tins, to start the circles needed for the beehive. It was so easy to make (hello, one-bowl baking), cooked perfectly, and was wonderfully moist and tasty. The gluten-free honey cake recipe I used was this one from Glutafin – and I simply can’t rave about it enough. I found the honey cake recipe and things spiralled out from there… a beehive shape, honeycomb centre, perfect! A bit unsure of adding extra ingredients to a gluten free cake, I opted for a hidden-centred cake instead. A few weeks ago Derby Clandestine Cake Club‘s August meeting was held, with a ‘Hidden Summer’ theme.
