4. To make the mascarpone cream, put the mascarpone, lemon zest and honey in a bowl. Using a spoon, mix until well until combined.
5. Gently spoon the mascarpone cream onto the top of the cooled cake and spread out evenly using a knife or the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut and sunflower seeds.
Easy!
The cake will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
