Preheat oven to 180C. Then grease and line a 20cm square or round cake tin and line the base and sides with the rice paper or baking paper.

Combine the flour, cocoa and spices in a large bowl, then strain the dried fruit and add this to the flour mixture. Add the nuts and mix well.

Combine the butter, sugar and honey in a saucepan on medium and cook until the butter melts and you have a smooth consistency.

Bring to the boil and cook for 4 minutes, pour over the flour mixture and stir well.

Press mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the surface.

Cook for about 40 minutes then remove from the oven and cool in the tin.

Pan forte will last for weeks when wrapped tightly and stored in the fridge.
