Dairy-Free Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

Ingredients

1.25 C plain flour
1.5 t baking powder
0.5 t baking soda
2 T poppy seeds
0.5 t salt
4 T lemon juice
1.5 T lemon zest
0.5 C soy milk
1 t vanilla essence
0.5 C molasses
0.25 C oil
0.25 C brown sugar

For the glaze

2 T margarine
3 T lemon juice
1-1.25 C icing sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius and grease an 8-inch baking tin.

Mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, soy milk and vanilla essence in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk in the molasses, sugar and oil.

Put the dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir until well-distributed. Mix in the wet ingredients.

Pour the mixture into the baking tin. Bake for 25-35 minutes, until the top is brown and the edges are pulling away slightly from the tin. Leave to cool.

For the glaze: Melt the margarine. Mix all the ingredients together. Wait until the mixture is cool but not cold and pour over the cooled cake.

We cook in portions and freeze our veg box ingredients. Then each evening we enjoy combining elements of this seasonal goodness in different meals. A few herbs and dressings or sauces means each meal is new, quick and as healthy as can be.
