Wood apples grow in the wild in the dry plains of India and Ceylon. The first known reference of wood apples is found in a Hinduism text dating back to 1 BCE. The fruit was initially considered to be a ‘poor man’s food’ but in the mid 20th century, it became a favoured flavouring to dedicate to deities.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
To make the jam: Break open the fruit and using a spoon scoop the pulp and place in a large bowl. Pour over 1/2 cup of warm water and let it mingle for 30 minutes. Squish it with your hands, separating the seeds and juice from the pulp.
* Step 2
Press the juice through a sieve to strain the fibres and seeds from the thick pulp. Add strained wood apple pulp in a nonstick pan and cook for 10 minutes on a low flame. Add the sugar and cook for another 10 minutes. Once the jam starts to thicken, take off the heat and allow to cool. Add the lemon juice and mix well. Pour into a steralized jar and place in the fridge to chill and thicken into jam.
* Step 3
To make the cake: Heat the oven to 175 degrees C, 350 degrees F, Gas Mark 4. Grease a fluted tin with a removable base. Whisk the egg whites and the cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Add gradually 3 of the tablespoons of sugar and continue beating until soft peaks form. Remove the egg whites and set aside in a large bowl.
* Step 4
Whisk the egg yolks and the remaining 4 tablespoons of sugar and salt until doubles in volume and turns pale yellow. Remove the zest from half the shaddock and add to the beaten egg yolks along with the tequilla, oil, yuzu and rose water.
* Step 5
Pour over the beaten egg whites, add the cake flour and fold gently until combined. Pour the cake batter into the prepared tin and swirl in the 3 tablespoons of the wood apple jam. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
* Step 6
Let the cake cool in the pan. Whip the cream. Segment the pomelo, discarding any pith. Remove the cake from the baking tin and sprinkle with rose petals. Serve a slice of cake with a dollop of camel cream and shaddock.
