I have a wonderful recipe for a lemon flaxseed loaf cake. My friend Claire and I made this thinking it might be okay tasting since it’s actually healthy for you. We were very surprised to find that it is one of the best loaf cakes we have ever had.
Ingredients:
1 T. sugar
6 T. flaxseed meal (available at most grocery stores in the organic health section)
1 c. sugar
2 large eggs
2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. reduced fat buttermilk or I used skim milk
1/4 c. olive oil
2 tsp. grated lemon rind
1 tsp. vanilla
Lemon Glaze...
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 T. fresh lemon juice
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat your loaf pan with butter or olive oil, etc. Take 1 tsp. sugar and coat the loaf pan.
Combine the remainder of sugar and eggs and beat continuously on high until the mixture is thick and light in color (about 3
minutes). In a separate bowl add flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In smaller bowl add the lemon rind, oil, vanilla and buttermilk and whisk together.
Alternately add buttermilk mixture and flour mixture to the egg mixture. Once complete pour mixture into your loaf pan and cook for
55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cake loaf cool and then take out of pan. To make the glaze add the powdered sugar and lemon juice, drizzle over loaf cake.
