The weekend is here which means it’s time to pursue your passions, spend time with friends and eat well.

Do all three with Jamie Oliver’s winter ginger, pear and almond cake. It serves 16 people, so is perfect if you’re hosting.

While this recipe is super impressive and will leave your loved ones in awe of your culinary skills, Jamie assured budding bakers it is “not too tricky”.

The star chef said: “This flourless upside-down cake, with a base of ginger-poached pears, is spicy, sweet and satisfying. And because this uses ground almonds instead of flour, it’s suitable for gluten-intolerant friends and family members.”

It may not be winter yet but this autumn is definitely a little chilly. Try this for the ultimate comfort eat.
