Lemon Chiffon Cake

A sweet spicy bread for toasting.
Candied orange peel
These are best made with Seville (bitter) oranges, but it might also be good to mix these with some sweet oranges for a bit of variety. The finished peel can be dipped into chocolate if you are after something more special.
Shortbread Swirls
Numerous variations exist from simply forgetting the swirling and making them one flavor, to substituting ginger or cinnamon for the cocoa, or orange rind for the lemon rind. Alternatively add 2oz of nuts instead of 2oz of flour, or 2oz of oats or oatmeal instead of 2oz of flour.
Carrot Cake
Gluten-free, dairy-free and just as good as anyone else’s.
