Crystelle Pereira's recipes for millionaire's shortbread and lime cake

These sweet treats are based on British teatime favourites, but with surprising flavour twists.The shortbread is laced with cardamom, pistachios and browned butter for a more complex flavour and texture that's somewhat reminiscent of Indian barfi.The loaf cake, meanwhile, is based on a lemon and poppyseed cake, swapping the lemon for lime, poppy seeds for sesame, and adding toasted coconut for a perfectly balanced cake with freshness and nuttiness.
