ββββββββ

Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter and line a 30 x 20cm baking or small roasting tin with baking parchment. Put the flour, sugar, spice, bicarbonate of soda, sultanas and salt into a large bowl and stir to combine.ββββββββ
ββββββββ

Beat the eggs into the melted butter, stir in the orange zest and juice, then mix with the dry ingredients till combined. Stir in the pumpkin. Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 30 minutes, or until golden and springy to the touch.ββββββββ
ββββββββ
STEP 3ββββββββ
To make the frosting, beat together the cheese, butter, icing sugar, orange zest and 1 tsp of the juice till smooth and creamy, then set aside in the fridge. When the cake is done, cool for 5 mins then turn it onto a cooling rack. Prick it all over with a skewer and drizzle with the rest of the orange juice while still warm. Leave to cool completely.ββββββββ
ββββββββ
STEP 4ββββββββ
If you like, trim the edges of the cake. Give the frosting a quick beat to loosen, then, using a palette knife, spread over the top of the cake in peaks and swirls. If youβre making the cake ahead, keep it in the fridge then take out as many pieces as you want 30 mins or so before serving. Will keep, covered, for up to 3 days in the fridge.ββββββββ

The story takes place in the 1930s during a largely forgotten chapter of U.S. history: Mexican Repatriation. MartΓnezβs straightforward text and Moraβs signature smudgy yet vibrant illustrations bring to life a story that reminds us that little has changed in U.S. history, as immigrant families still face deportation and the fear of separationββββββββ

In this delightful Jewish intergenerational picture book, a grandmother and granddaughter attempt to make challah together. Despite being poor bakers, Bubbie and Rivka are determined to make the perfect challah. Every Friday, they try a new recipe, but while they have a blast cooking and playing together, their challah inevitably comes out less than perfect. In fact, itβs often inedible. But with lots of trial and error, they finally succeed in making the best-ever challah. ββββββββ

A picture books that emphasize enjoying the process over the end result, and this book does that so well.ββββββββ
