Orange Cake Recipe
As we are now moving into citrus season, I thought I would post a versatile recipe that I have made with Sunflower Seed Flour. This recipe is fantastic glutenfree.
Orange Cake:
185 gms Butter
1 cup Caster Sugar (or 3/4 cup Xylitol to make it sugarfree)
3 Eggs
1/2 cup Flour (use a gluten free flour to make it glutenfree)
1 cup Sunflower Seed Flour (or Almond Flour)
1 tsp Baking Powder
2 Whole Oranges (or citrus fruit of choice)
To prepare the oranges - chop into pieces, discard seeds, cover with water and cook in microwave for 10mins, or on stove top for about 15 mins. Strain off water and process oranges in a food processor until skins are chopped into very small pieces.
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs. Mix in flour and baking powder then the oranges.
Bake in a moderate oven until cooked.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
