Method

1. Heat oven to 180°C / 350F / Gas Mark 4. Grease and line two round 20cm or 22cm cake tins.

3. In a food mixer, beat the Flora 100% Natural Ingredients and sugar for 3-4 minutes, until pale and fluffy.
4. Mix the flour and baking powder in a bowl.
5. In another bowl, mix together the yogurt, milk, vanilla seeds and lemon zest.
6. Take a third of the yogurt mixture and a third of the flour. Fold in gently to the spread and sugar mix, using a spatula.
7. Repeat the process 2 more times until all ingredients are incorporated.
8. Divide the mixture between the two tins.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until an inserted skewer or knife comes out clean.
10. Let the cakes cool down for 15 minutes in the tin. Then place onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
11. To make the buttercream, beat Flora 100% Natural Ingredients, icing sugar and lemon zest in a food mixer for 3-4 minutes until very light and fluffy.
12. When the cakes are completely cool, spread the jam over the bottom cake. Top it with the fluffy buttercream.

Carefully sandwich the two cakes and sprinkle the top with icing sugar. You can decorate the cake with some fresh red fruits. Enjoy!✨

Here is a reminder before you get sucked in by all the weight loss campaigns that you’re being bombarded with this January...
"The number of fad diets and omissions of whole food groups are now reaching epidemic proportions, to remove whole food groups without fully understanding how the body works or considering your bodies needs and what you need to put back into your body is simply the quickest way to acquire nutrition deficiencies which lead to ill health." – Hala El-Shafie Specialist Eating Disorders Dietitian & Founder of Nutrition Rocks.
