When cooked turn out onto a cooling tray and prepare the topping

Remove the rind & juice from the remaining orange and place in a saucepan with the sugar & honey, bring to the boil, add the fruits and simmer gently for only 1 minute.

Spoon the syrup and fruits over the top of cake, this also can be done while the cake is still warm. Dot the top of the cake with mascarpone and dust with icing sugar. Flash below a hot grill until lightly melted and golden brown, cut into wedges and serve.

This is a one layer cake packed with fruit on top. For a healthier topping substitute the mascarpone with light cream cheese.
