Syrupy Jaffa Cake

This really yummy cake recipe comes from Michelle Trute's Cooking with Conscience vol 2 cookbook. Serves 12

125g reduced fat margarine
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup self raising flour
1/2 cup water
2 Tbls cocoa powder
zest of 2 oranges
juice of 2 oranges
1/3 cup icing sugar

1. Cream margarine, add the next five ingredients. Beat for 5mins and fold through the zest of 1 orange.
2. Line a baking tin with paper, bake at 180c for 35-40mins
3. In a saucepan combine juice with remaining zest and icing sugar over a low heat until sugar dissolves.
4. When cake is cooked pierce the top with a skewer and slowly drizzle warm syrup over the cake.
5. Allow the cake to sit in the tin until cooled.

This has a really low sodium level (97mg per serve) but could be lower if you used plain flour and sodium free baking powder.

Yep... I blew up my old blog.

Typically I kept on composing posts in my head that I really wanted to put down into words, so I've resurrected it. I'm lucky I could still retrieve the old address.

Just don't expect regular updates like before.
