Method

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 165°C. Cream the butter and eggs until pale and fluffy. Place the flour, ginger, mixed spice, sugar, milk and vanilla extract in an electric mixer and beat for 8 minutes until pale and smooth.

Spread in an even layer in a 35 x 25 x 5 cm baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Set aside to cool completely.

Cut stars from the fondant icing using a cookie cutter and use to decorate the cake. Dust with the icing sugar and gold stars and drizzle with the honey.
