Highland Cake

Ingredients:

- Highland plum shepherd's pie base

- Pine nut layer

- Blancmange filling for the interior

- Rosemary and mint cream for the exterior filling

Instructions:

1. Start with a base of Highland plum shepherd's pie, creating a generous layer to form the foundation of your cake. This layer will add a sweet and traditional touch to your creation.

2. Next, add a layer of pine nuts to provide a crunchy texture and intense flavor to the middle levels of the cake. This layer will offer an interesting contrast to the softness of the other layers.

3. Introduce an interior filling of blancmange, creating a rich and delicate layer in the middle of the cake. This filling will add an extra dimension of taste and texture to each bite.

4. For the exterior filling, cover the cake with a generous layer of rosemary and mint cream. This fresh and aromatic combination will enhance all the other flavors, providing a unique taste experience.

5. Optionally, decorate the cake with fresh plums, mint leaves, or toasted pine nuts to give it a more appetizing and appealing look.
