Shape the dough into a round and lift into the prepared cake tin. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave to prove for 1 hour until the dough has roughly doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan)/370°F/gas 5. When it’s proved, bake the lardy cake for 45 minutes until golden, then turn out onto a cooling rack set over a baking tray.
To make the glaze, pour 100ml water into a saucepan and add the sugar. Heat gently to dissolve the sugar and make a thick sugar syrup. Brush the syrup all over the top of the lardy cake, letting it drip onto the baking tray below.
Slice and serve with clotted cream and raspberry jam.
