Lemon Poppy Seed Cake : Enjoy A Slice : Low Carb : Vegan


As good today as it was in 2018 when I first shared this low carb vegan version of lemon poppy seed cake. Make sure the kettle is on, a slice is perfect with a cup of coffee or tea!


Ingredients
2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup stevia (sweetener)
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. flaxseed meal
1/4 cup poppy seeds
1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
lemon zest, 1 1/2 lemons
2 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tbsp. coconut oil
3/4 cup water
pinch salt

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a loaf tin with cooking spray and line with baking paper. Set aside.
2. Add dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix well. Add the lemon zest.
3. Add lemon juice and the rest of the wet ingredients a little at a time, stirring well between each addition.
4. Transfer batter to loaf tin.
5. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
6. Allow to cool in tin before inverting onto a place and cutting into slices.

Thank you. One of my nieces has become a vegan (gone to the dark side her father says). She would appreciate this recipe.

Hello, The recipe does look easy to make, and the cake looks good. I thought poppy seeds were a kind of narcotic!They are not, or you of all people, would not be posting this.You only post healthy food, but it did enter my mind when I read the recipe.
All the best,

I've had Lemon Poppy Seed Cake, but it was much lighter than this -a different kind of flour entirely, I'm sure.
