1/2 None vanilla pod, seeds scraped out
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground fennel seeds
130 g caster sugar
75 ml olive oil
120 ml semi-skimmed milk
1 None lemon, juiced
110 g plain flour
1-2 tbsp cocoa powder
2 g baking powder
2 None ripe mangoes, peeled, stoned, flesh pureed
1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
1 tsp + 1 tbsp icing sugar
250 g raspberries
1-2 tsp chai tea powder
30 g brown sugar
2 None figs, cut into wedges
4 sprigs fresh mint

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F. Grease an 8 x 8 inch square pan and sprinkle with flour. In a saucepan, melt 2 oz of butter. In a bowl, beat the eggs, orange zest, vanilla seeds, cinnamon, fennel seeds and 1/3 cup of sugar with the whisk of a mixer until creamy. Slowly beat in the melted butter.
2
In a bowl, mix the oil, 1/4 cup of milk and 1 tbsp lemon juice and stir into the egg mixture. Sift in the flour, cocoa and baking powder and carefully fold in. Bake for 25-35 mins, or until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool.
3
To make the sorbet, in a saucepan, boil the rest of the sugar and 1/3 cup of water. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Stir in the mango puree, chili flakes, 1 tsp powdered sugar and the remaining lemon juice. Spoon into a freezer-proof container, cover with foil and freeze for 2 hours.
4
Puree half of the raspberries and 1 tbsp powdered sugar. Pass through a sieve and set aside. Mix the tea powder with 1 cup of boiling water and allow to stand for 5 mins. Stir in 1/3 cup of milk and sprinkle over the cake.
5
Cut the cake into 12-18 squares. In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp of sugar and the brown sugar together and roll the cake squares in it. Melt 1-2 tsp butter in a frying pan and fry the cake pieces for 1 min, turning.
6
Arrange the cake and sorbet scoops on plates. Drizzle with the raspberry puree and serve with fig wedges, mint and the remaining raspberries.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
