Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I rarely get around to baking a cake for tea, more often they make an appearance at the end of dinner, which allows for something altogether more decadent.
Cake
Syrup
Heat the oven to 190C fan oven/200C or 400F electric oven/Gas 6. Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Beat in the eggs and the oil, then stir in the lemon zest, and fold in the cranberries. Pour the mixture into a greased 20cm cake tin with a removable base and bake for 35-40 minutes until the cake is golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, make the syrup. Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer for three minutes. Once the cake is cooked, leave it to cool for a few minutes then remove the collar and slip it on to a deepish plate. Pierce holes in the top, spoon over half the syrup and leave it to cool. Serve with the remaining syrup spooned over.
