For the friands
200 grams butter, softened
200 grams caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 organic eggs
200 grams ground almonds
50 grams buckwheat flour
zest and juice of 1 large lemon
zest and juice of 1 large lime
12 cubes Turkish delight, cut into quarters (for topping)
freshly grated lime and/or lemon zest (for topping)
For the orange blossom syrup
3 tablespoons orange blossom water
3 tablespoons water
4 tablespoons honey

1
Preheat oven to 175C fan bake. Grease 12 holes of a friand or regular cupcake tray. It pays to line the base of each with an oval of baking paper.
2
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until pale, light and fluffy. Add vanilla and then eggs, one at a time, beating between each. Add ground almonds and flour until combined. Fold through the citrus zest and juice. Stop electric mixer once all ingredients are combined. Do not over mix.
3
Divide batter between friand holes. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden in colour, springy to the touch and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool for around 10 minutes before turning onto a rack.
4
Meanwhile, make the orange blossom syrup. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and heat for 20 minutes until mixture has thickened and reduced. Once cakes are cool, spoon some syrup onto each.
5
Top with cubes of Turkish Delight. Serve immediately with Greek yoghurt or mascarpone. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
