Who made this dish?
Giuseppe made a Mediterranean-inspired carrot cake with orange zest, filled with family recipe fig and walnut jam, topped with orange cream cheese icing, candied walnuts, and fresh figs. The cake was baked as one large cake then sliced into three layers. Giuseppe used a heating rod in the center and cake belt for even baking.
Paul Hollywood: "It has an absolutely delicious flavor, but the texture is very soft." "It was good and it still tastes like a carrot cake, which is really important." Prue Leith: "You have been affected by heat cuz it wasn't cold when you put it together and therefore you've got a bit of movement. But it looks quite attractive and fairly level." "Because the cake was warm when you did it. That's what's causing you to think, is it under baked? Is it stodgy or whatever? It's not. It's just you've got the cream cheese and you've got the jam and it's soaking into a warm cake." "It's added a lot of moisture. But actually I think the flavors are delicious. The idea of introducing a fig to."
