  Hello! How far ahead can I put the topping on Nigella's Nutella Cake, and can I make the topping beforehand and put it on before serving the cake? Thanks.

  I saw Nigella do a recipe using orzo pasta, which looks like rice. I have searched everywhere and cannot find the recipe. It looked so tasty, I hope you can help.
