• 3 1/2 tablespoons butter
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 zest orange, grated
• 1/2 vanilla pod seeds scraped out
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds ground
• 1 1/16 cups caster sugar
• 5 1/16 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup semi-skimmed milk
• 1 lemon juiced
• 7/8 cup plain flour
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1/8 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 mangoes ripe, peeled, stoned, flesh pureed
• 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes dried
• 1 teaspoon icing sugar
• 1 5/8 cups raspberries
• 2 teaspoons chai tea powder
• 3 5/16 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 figs cut into wedges
• 4 sprigs fresh mint

1. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Grease an 8 x 8 inch square pan and sprinkle with flour. In a saucepan, melt 2 oz of butter. In a bowl, beat the eggs, orange zest, vanilla seeds, cinnamon, fennel seeds and 1/3 cup of sugar with the whisk of a mixer until creamy. Slowly beat in the melted butter.
2. In a bowl, mix the oil, 1/4 cup of milk and 1 tbsp lemon juice and stir into the egg mixture. Sift in the flour, cocoa and baking powder and carefully fold in. Bake for 25-35 mins, or until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool.
3. To make the sorbet, in a saucepan, boil the rest of the sugar and 1/3 cup of water. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Stir in the mango puree, chili flakes, 1 tsp powdered sugar and the remaining lemon juice. Spoon into a freezer-proof container, cover with foil and freeze for 2 hours.
4. Puree half of the raspberries and 1 tbsp powdered sugar. Pass through a sieve and set aside. Mix the tea powder with 1 cup of boiling water and allow to stand for 5 mins. Stir in 1/3 cup of milk and sprinkle over the cake.
5. Cut the cake into 12-18 squares. In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp of sugar and the brown sugar together and roll the cake squares in it. Melt 1-2 tsp butter in a frying pan and fry the cake pieces for 1 min, turning.
6. Arrange the cake and sorbet scoops on plates. Drizzle with the raspberry puree and serve with fig wedges, mint and the remaining raspberries.
