How rising oil price affect food prices

Image
The oil prices rise steadily and despite the falling demand, especially in the West due to strict lockdowns. At the moment two crude oil benchmarks, WTI and Brent, have hit above crucial $50 mark. It goes without saying how food prices are going to be affected by the rising oil price during these troubling times. Since the transportation of goods by roads, both national and international level, the prices of essential items are already being subject to inflationary pressures. The rise in oil price is only going to make it even worse at a critical time. In addition, the air transport has collapsed by a significant percentage and it will add more pressure to sellers to raise the prices. Farmers are going to feeling the pinch too: with rising oil price, they cannot afford to use machinery in an optimum capacity – for obvious reasons. If the rising oil price forces consumers to turn to alternatives such as biofuels, the price of essential items could even go higher than the current v...

I am not surprised if you feel too lazy to take out all the necessary equipment to fix a cake sometimes, worrying about all the washing and wiping would be waiting! So, why not try this recipe to save your day! Just call this, a ‘lazy cake’ because you don’t have to use the electric mixer or the mixing bowl at all.

You don’t have to ice this cake because it is perfect as it is. This cake cannot go wrong, so do not worry. Just relax and fold the ingredients together and pop the batter into the oven.
