Zesty Lemon Cake Basic cake mix is great; it dispenses with the need to buy flour, sugar and butter for the sponge. However, I usually use milk instead of water and I’ll always flavour the sponge. This one has lemon, but you can use vanilla essence, chocolate chips, orange, or whatever takes your fancy. This is so cheap the lemon costs more than the sponge mix! Serves 4 Ingredients: Value sponge mix 50ml milk 1 lemon, grated and juiced A few heaped tablespoons of icing sugar Preheat oven to 200degrees/gas mark 6. Grease an ovenproof dish with butter or buttery spread. Following the instructions on the packet, substitute milk for water. Add the grated rind of the lemon and half the lemon juice to sponge mix and whisk for around a minute, making sure the mix gets plenty of air. You can use an electric whisk if you have one. Turn out the mix a greased ceramic bowl and bake for around 20-25 minutes, until a skewer placed in the sponge comes out clean. Add a few drops of hot water to the icing sugar so that it dissolves into a thick paste. Add the rest of the lemon juice and stir until combined into a gooey paste. Pour over the cake and allow it to set for an hour or two. Enjoy with vanilla ice cream or a cup of tea. If you do not want to use lemon then use the bottled juice. Use around 4-6 tablespoons in the sponge mix and a couple of tablespoons in the icing. You own get as zesty a flavour though. Leroy Robinson
As its Autism awareness month we decided to do an activity adapted for children who have autism. We hope you find this useful and enjoyable. Children with autism like to filter the light. They sometimes do this by “wagging” their fingers in front of their face. You may see them pulling out handfuls of grass and dropping it into the wind in front of their face. Find a space you can make in your room that will give them some things you can let them filter with. For example: Several under the bed plastic storage boxes and beach toys like shovels, buckets, plastic shapes etc. Here are some things to put in the boxes: 1. Rice You can colour the rice by using food colouring and letting it dry over night spread out on wax paper before you put it in the box. 2. Dry Beans 3. Sand 4. Easter grass (this is colourful and straw like) 5. Shredded paper 6. Christmas tinsel You can hide small toys in the boxes for the children to find. You could use large plastic gold coins and hide them in the boxes under all these items. The children love to pull them out and then hide them again.
