Ingredients

How to make it

  • Roll pastry into an oblong measuring 25 x 30cm (10 x 12 inches).
  • Mix the cake crumbs and ground almonds with 3/4 of the flaked almonds and the cherries.
  • Beat eggs, 2 tablespoons of honey and essence together, mix into dry ingredients.
  • Spread the filling over the pastry and lay the eight Flakes in pairs down the centre, leaving a narrow border.
  • Brush border with water and fold over the side sealing the edges and ends.
  • Place on the baking tray with the fold underneath.
  • Brush with warm honey and sprinkle with remaining nuts.
  • Bake at Gas Mark 4, 180°C, 350°F for 30-45 minutes until golden brown. Cover if necessary to avoid burning.
  • Serve warm or cold. (I prefer it cold)

    I think this is great, can I substitute the cadbury flakes for just another chocolate bar or it has special qualities?

    This sounds divine!

    - thepiggs, a Cadbury Flake is a chocolate bar that is sold in the UK, Ireland & South Africa, among other places. Often, you can find them in Irish or English import stores or websites or at World Market stores in the US.

    We don't have cake crumbs here, is that something that you buy in the store? What would be similar?
    Explain the Cadbury Flakes.
    This recipe does sound quite interesting and would be something that I might like to try, IF I can find the right ingredients or substitutes.
    Thanks for sharing!!!
