This makes for an original and delicious breakfast or brunch dish. It is particularly good if you have the ricotta pre-whipped and the orange segments and thyme at the ready, so you can pile everything on the teacake while it’s still hot.

  3. Toast the tea-cake halves to your liking.
  4. Divide the flavoured ricotta between each half tea cake, spread it out thickly,
