Recipe by @rawpublic_

Cooking time: 1.5hrs

• 2 cups The Kind Harvest Plain Flour

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 2.5 tbsp of poppy seeds

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil (I used olive)

• 1/4 orange zest

• 1/3 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)

• 1/4 cup apple sauce

• 1 tsp vanilla essence

• 1 cup milk (I used soy milk)

ORANGE SYRUP

• 3/4 orange juice (freshly squeezed)

• 1 cup sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 180'C

2. Line a 8 x 4-inch loaf tin with baking paper.

3. Add the Good Harvest Plain Flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt to a mixing bowl. Add in the oil, orange zest, apple sauce, vanilla and milk and gently stir to combine.

4. Transfer to a 8x4-inch loaf tin and bake until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean, roughly 40-55 minutes.

5. While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup.

6. Place syrup ingredients into a small saucepan and heat on medium temperature until the sugar has dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, bring to a gentle boil. When then syrup mixture has reduced to about a thrid, remove from the heat and allow to cool.

7. Once the cake is done, remove from tin, place on wire rack and drizzle with orange syrup.
