I skip the elaborate “jewelled chocolate bark” topping, in favour of some crushed, lightly thrown amaretti biscuits, a handful of mixed peel, followed by a final (and in retrospect, unnecessary and disgusting) sprinkling of white chocolate shards. The result – the work of two hours, and enough to feed 20 – is so heavy I can barely lift it. Once home, I prioritise tasks, although my first priority should have been reading the recipe all the way through. I start by making the swiss roll, something I’ve never done. The batter looks thin and unpromising. While it’s in the oven, I begin reducing some tinned mandarin oranges with sugar. In hindsight I should have started with the jelly.
