Bee sting cake is a treat for grown-ups, who’ll enjoy being ‘stung’ by the fiery flavours of whisky and ginger. Put the flour in a bowl and add the yeast. Stir well, then add the salt.

Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas 3 and butter and line the bottom of a 7in/18cm cake tin. Measure the honey, butter and sugar into a large pan. Add a tablespoon of water and heat gently until melted.
