Cooking instruction summary:

Start by heating your oven up to 350F.I used 3 small 4" pans because I was sending out 3 small testers to 3 different people but you can use a 8" spring pan as well :).With coconut oil, grease the pan and put parchment paper at the bottom.In a small saucepan, heat up honey and water until honey has dissolved in the water. Then add half of the two zests and 2 tbsp of grapefruit juice and 2tbsp of orange juice (with pulps!). Mix well, turn off heat and set aside.In a big bowl, mix maple sugar, yogurt, rest of zests, juices, olive oil and eggs until well combined.In another bowl, mix flours, starches, baking powder, spices and salt. Once well combined, make a well in the middle and slowly whisk the yogurt mixture in (keeping the honey mix for later!) until you have a uniform batter.Pour batter in your spring pan and sprinkle with shaved/sliced nuts.Bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean or with crumbs on it, about 40-50 minutes.Using a toothpick, pokes a bunch of holes on your cake and slowly drizzle your honey syrup on the cake.

Food Joke

Endearing terms It’s Daniel and Rivkah’s 50th wedding anniversary and to celebrate, their son Aaron invites the close family to a Golden Wedding dinner at his house. During the evening, Aaron gets very emotional every time he hears his dad call his mum by such endearing terms as ‘darling’, ‘petal’, ‘sweetheart’ and ‘my lover.’ It’s clear to Aaron that his parents are still very much in love. While Rivkah is out the room, Aaron goes over to his father, kisses him and quietly says, "Dad, I’m so pleased for you both. I think it`s fantastic that after 50 years you’re still calling mum by those loving pet names." But Daniel, looking very embarrassed, says, "Things are not always what they seem to be, son. I must tell you the truth - I forgot your mother’s name about 5 years ago."
