Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F) and butter a 10x10cm baking tin, lining the base with a strip of parchment.
2
Whisk melted butter, honey and brown sugar together in a bowl until smooth and glossy.
3
Beat in the egg, orange zest, cinnamon and ground cloves until fully combined.
4
Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt, folding gently until just incorporated with no dry streaks.
5
Fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins, distributing evenly through the batter.
6
Scrape the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
7
Bake for 20-22 minutes until the top is golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
8
Cool in the tin on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then lift out and cool completely on the rack.
9
Drizzle the warmed honey over the top and scatter with the extra chopped walnuts just before cutting into squares.
