One purpose in discovering your own personality is to know how you affect others.
Consciously, or unconsciously, people feel your personality, and their reaction is a clue."

Lovely Laura's Yummy Cake Recipe(Thank-you, Laura:)!
Apple Cider Pound Cake (makes 8 slices in a standard sized round spring form tin)
1-3/4 cups plain wholemeal flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup Full Fat Greek yogurt
3/4 cups brown sugar
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
2 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1-1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Pre heat oven to 180c and coat your choice of tin with some spray oil (I used a standard sized round spring form tin) combine the flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon in a bowl. In a separate bowl combine the sugar, oil, butter, yoghurt, egg and vinegar. Mix the dry into the wet until you are left with a stiff batter (it will be pretty stiff – don’t worry!) Fill your tin with the mixture and press out evenly. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes until slightly golden. Allow to cool and then store in the fridge. If serving as a whole cake, sprinkle with some sieved icing sugar for presentation – then serve with your choice of yoghurt, ice cream, custard or a sweet sauce made by mixing a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of agave syrup, 1 tablespoon of Greek yoghurt and cinnamon to taste (this is what I served mine with last night).
