I like to finish this cake with a berry that’s not too sweet; fresh raspberries, cherries or cranberries work well. Our cranberry sauce is perfect for spooning on top; cranberries are cooked with sugar, orange zest, and some star anise for a little extra twist.

Cook, cool and spoon on top. 

The perfect springtime dessert.
