Instructions
1Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas
2Crush the biscuits and most of the almonds inside a plastic food bag using a rolling pin. Mix with the butter, then press into the bottom of a deep, oval, 23cm dish (or something similar in size – a roasting tin, baking dish or cake tin will work). Bake for 10 mins; it is ready when crisp.
3Stir or mash together the yoghurt and mascarpone, then whisk in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the lemon and orange zests, then stir in most of the honey, reserving about 3 tbsp. Spread over the biscuit base, cover loosely with foil and cook for 1 hr. Remove the foil and cook for 15 mins more until lightly golden and the top is firm with just the slightest wobble in the middle. Leave to cool. Can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.
4To serve, scatter with almonds, drizzle over the remaining honey, and hand around fresh fruit to go with it.

Chef tips
To prevent cracks in the cake, ensure all ingredients (yoghurt, cheese, and eggs) are at room temperature before mixing. Avoid overbeating the batter to prevent trapping excess air. My favourite version is served with an extra drizzle of honey and toasted flaked almonds. Children will love helping to decorate the cake with fresh berries before serving.
