Prepare a double boiler by placing a bowl over a pan of hot water.

Melt honey and butter together in the bowl.

Once melted, remove from heat and add white and brown sugar, stirring until combined.

Let the mixture cool slightly before adding eggs and cream.

In a separate bowl, combine plain flour, baking powder, salt, and optional spices like cinnamon and cloves.

Sift the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and mix until combined without overworking the dough.

Divide the dough into seven parts and chill in the fridge.

Roll each part to about half a centimeter thickness, using minimal flour to prevent sticking.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Bake the rolled dough sheets for about 10 minutes until lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool before layering.

Prepare the cream mix by combining around 600 grams of cream with sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

Layer the cooled sheets with a sufficient amount of tea to moisten, followed by a layer of cream, repeating until all layers are assembled.

Finish with a top layer of cream and sprinkle crumbs on top for decoration.

Let the cake set for a few hours or ideally overnight before serving.
