This is such an easy cake to bake. The mix of oranges and cinnamon remind me of Christmas approaching.
You will need:
250 g self raising flour
100 g butter
100 g sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
3 eggs
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Grated zest of one
Pinch salt
Some icing sugar to sprinkle on top of the cake
Pre heat oven to 160 C.
Prepare an cake dish with baking paper.
Sift the flour. Add the cinnamon and grated orange rind.
Add the butter and rub in until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the sugar, salt and bicarbonate of soda.
In a bowl beat the eggs. Heat the honey, just a little to soften it up.
Add the orange juice to the eggs.
Add the egg moisture it the flour mixture and mix gently,
Don’t worry if the mixture is slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the cake dish and bake for 40 minutes.
Leave to cool.
Dust some icing sugar on the surface.

![The weather is changing and here comes the autumn and some delicious roasts. Sprinkling some raw couscous on fennel and sesame seed potatoes before roasting them makes them extra crunchy and so soft inside.
300g potatoes, chopped with skin on
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons uncooked couscous
1 teaspoon fresh or dried herbs [optional]
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 tablespoon fennel seeds
Sea Salt
Prepare an oven dish by greasing with a tablespoon of olive oil. In a large bowl toss the potatoes with the olive oil, herbs and salt if you are using it. Finally add the raw couscous and toss again. Use your hands to mix the potatoes and ensure that they are consistently covered.
Place in a preheated oven at 220C for 35 minutes. Spinkle with more sea salt if desired, fennel and sesame seeds.
Serve hot or cold with drinks and a toothpick or as a side to a main meal. The inside remains soft and so creamy !

Looks delicious, how much Bicarbonate of Soda should we use? It’s in the Method but not in the Ingredients list?
