This gluten free, citrus dessert is a delicious treat the whole family will love, with the classic flavour combination of orange, almond and poppy seeds.
Place margarine, rind and sugar in a bowl and mix until light and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined.
Stir through almond meal and poppy seeds. Stir in ½ the flour with ¼ cup of So Good, then add the remaining flour and So Good.
Spread mixture into a greased and lined 20cm round tin. Bake in a moderate oven, 180°C, for 40 minutes.
Combine syrup ingredients in a saucepan. Stir over low-heat until sugar is dissolved, then increase heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove cake from oven; insert a few holes in the cake with skewer. Pour hot syrup over hot cake. Cool cake in tin.

Substitute other varieties of citrus fruit, such as lemons or limes, if you don't have oranges.
Make your own caster sugar, by placing raw sugar into a food processor and pulse until the sugar granules become finer.
Create a lactose/dairy free dessert by choosing a dairy free margarine.
