Summary: It doesn't get any easier than this delicious, one-bowl Orange, Almond and Semolina Cake. Grate the orange zest, juice the oranges, then mix everything together, and bake.
You could make a proper syrup by bringing the orange juice and zest to the boil along with 2 tablespoons of sugar, but the orange juice works just as well, it is easier and quicker, and it is that little less sugar.

Summary: Light and aerated, this is the simplest and the best chocolate mousse I have ever eaten, and the only chocolate mousse recipe I have been using for years. It is as easy to make as melting chocolate and whisking egg whites, yet it produces the most deliciously chocolatey chocolate mousse.
No added sugar, none of the fuss of using cream or milk, or the egg yolks.
Use 2 egg whites to 100g chocolate for a rich chocolate mousse, and 4 egg whites to 100g chocolate for a lighter mousse and a less intense chocolate flavour.
Make this when you have egg whites left from another recipe, or use the egg yolks to make custard, mayonnaise, ice cream, lemon curd, or another recipe.
You can make this using dark chocolate (anything from 60 to 80% cacao), milk chocolate or white chocolate. And for a creative and striking dessert, multiply the recipe quantities by 3 and alternate layers of dark, milk and white chocolate in tall and pretty glasses, topped with berries or fruits of your choice and cacao nibs.

Summary: This deliciously crumbly cake is naturally gluten-free and can be made sugar free by using xylitol (which has a low glycemic index and that is actually good for your teeth) in the cake and drizzling the cake with plain orange juice instead of a orange juice and sugar syrup.
Make it a vegan cake by replacing the butter with margarine, and every egg with 1 teaspoon egg replacer mixed in 2 Tablespoons water or 1 Tablespoon chia seeds or golden flaxseeds or linseeds mixed into 3 Tablespoons water.
