Preparation time: 30 mins

Cooking time: 50-60 mins plus cooling time Serves: 8

Ingredients

3 eggs; 250g caster sugar; 275g plain flour; 2½ tsp baking powder; 100g butter, softened; 100g plain Greek yoghurt or sour cream; 1 large orange, washed and cut into pieces with the rind, but remove the seeds; 1 tsp vanilla extract Glaze: Juice of one large orange; 100g caster sugar IMPORTANT – food processor or blender required

Method

Preheat oven to 175°C. Prepare an 8 inch / 21cm springform pan by coating the sides with sunflower oil or butter and lining the base with greaseproof paper. Place the sugar and eggs in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until light and fluffy and increased in volume. Sift the baking powder and flour together then add to the mixture in the bowl a little at a time along with the softened butter. Continue to mix until completely blended, then stir in the yoghurt or sour cream. In a food processor or blender, process the whole orange until it is almost pureed. Add this blended orange to the cake mixture along with the vanilla

The cake is ready when a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes, then remove the side of the springform pan. Prepare the glaze by heating the sugar and the orange juice in a saucepan, and allow to simmer for a few minutes, until the liquid has a syrupy consistency. Skewer the top of the cake a few times, then spoon and brush glaze over the top of the cake and allow to cool completely before cutting.

HELPING YOU FIND YOUR WAY

TO TALK TO BE HEARD TO BE YOU

Clarify

I want to understand more about my relationship with others. I’m not sure how to cope with my grief and loss. I feel anxious and scared and I’m not sure why. I’m not sure how to relax.

Growth and development

I want to improve my level of confidence and self esteem. I want to personally gain a greater self awareness. I want to improve communication with my manager and my team. I want to move on to something else.

Explore

There’s something I want to explore and make sense of. I’m feeling really down, low and depressed and I feel stuck. To me the world just looks like a fog. I’d like to have some support and somebody to listen. I feel overwhelmed.

Behaviour change

.

I want to stop smoking

I want to feel less anxious. I want to stop harming myself. I want to stop the phobia I have.
