Fun Fact About Oranges in Italian Cuisine: In Italy, oranges are a beloved fruit, especially in Sicily, where they’re used in everything from juices to desserts. Sicilian blood oranges are particularly famous for their sweet and tangy flavor, often used in jams, cakes, and even savory dishes!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2g baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup plant-based milk
• A bit of lemon juice
• 2 tbsp of the Orange Spread

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Buttermilk:
   Mix the lemon juice into the plant-based milk and let it sit for a few minutes to create a tangy buttermilk substitute.
2. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
3. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
   In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Incorporate the Wet Ingredients:
   Add the buttermilk (from step 1) and the orange spread into the dry mixture and stir until fully combined.
5. Prepare the Baking Molds:
   Pour the batter into mini silicone bundt cake molds (or you can use muffin tins or other molds).
6. Bake the Cakes:
   Bake the cakes for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
7. Make the Glaze:
   While the cakes are baking, melt the orange spread and mix with a little plant-based milk to make the glaze.
8. Glaze the Cakes:
   Once the cakes are baked and have cooled slightly, pour the glaze over them while they’re still a little warm. Allow the cakes to cool down with the glaze set.
