There's something so comforting about the flavour of honey, especially when there's whipped cream involved too. While this recipe is fairly simple, it's easy to burn before the cake is cooked through. If you notice this happening, cover the cake with some tin foil and turn down the oven temperature by 10 degrees. Bee pollen is a pricey ingredient which isn't always easy to find, so top with toasted coconut or a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds if you prefer.
