Citrus, Vanilla & Olive Oil Spelt Cake with Rose

Our garden is overflowing with an abundance of lemons and limes at the moment. It’s a wonderful thing! Lucky for me there are so many recipes you can create using citrus fruit, like today's Citrus, Vanilla and Olive Oil Spelt Cake with Rose.

This spelt cake is super simple and easy to make. It’s one of those, mix the wet, mix the dry, and then mix it altogether kind of cakes (I love those cakes). It’s not too sweet and is deliciously moist, yet still retains a lovely crumb texture-the perfect little afternoon treat with a relaxing cup of tea.

Tomato & Basil Meatballs with Cauliflower Puree

I developed this recipe only a few weeks ago now and it’s already become a new family favourite.

I like to serve this dish with a side of steamed green beans, mainly because I love them. For all my vegetarian and vegan friends, simply replace the meat with chickpeas/lentils and voila, ‘vegeballs’. ☺ For my paleo friends, just leave out the buffalo mozzarella and parmesan and you’re set.

Enjoy the recipe!
