Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Butter a 7-inch springform cake pan. Using an electric mixer, beat together 8 ounces cream, the brown sugar and egg. Gradually add flour, mixing well.
- Step 2
Beat in warm honey and chopped nuts. Mix well, about 30 seconds. Add baking soda and mix again until well blended, about 30 seconds. Turn into cake pan and smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 1½ hours. Allow to cool slightly, then remove from pan. Serve with remaining 6 ounces cream passed on the side, for spreading on slices.

Frank Bruni wrote his NYT feature in 2009, and this cake, about which no mention is made in Bruni's piece, is supposedly adapted from a dessert served at Houston's Feast restaurant. Feast closed in 2013.
Disinclined to order a 7" springform pan, I dared to deviate by a digit and made the orphan torte in an 8" model.
Lovely!
Whole Foods sells clotted cream *and* Devonshire cream from The Devon Creamery in England. Use the clotted cream. It's an expensive treat.
