       Rahul, 34, the 2018 Bake Off champ, made the delicacy for holiday house switch firm Love Home Swap, which has homes in each of the countries where the ingredients are from.

       He said: “As far as baking challenges go, this one was epic and the hardest bake I’ve ever done, but I knew straight away I had to take it on.

       “When I was asked to take this particular leap, I didn’t have to think twice.

       “The hardest part wasn’t in fact making the cake, it was devising the recipe and ensuring the flavour balance was just right.”

       The Great British Bake Off, Channel 4’s most-watched show, will return on Tuesday with one of its broadest age ranges among competitors.

       Among those in the tent will be a retired midwife, 70, and a 56-year-old former detective, as well as a 19-year-old university student.
