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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.6% ... It is complicated
