No Sugar Lemon Poppyseed Cake Recipe

 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9x5 inch metal loaf pan. Set aside.
  2. Mix the almond milk (or milk of choice), melted vegan butter (or unsalted butter), lemon juice, Purecane™ zero-calorie Baking Sweetener, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla extract together. Add the lemon extract if desired. Then, add the flour and mix until a batter forms. Be careful not to over-mix, or the cake will be dense. Then fold in the poppy seeds.
  3. Next, transfer the batter into your prepared metal loaf pan and bake in the oven for about 40 to 45 minutes or until the loaf has risen entirely and is golden. 
  4. While the loaf is baking, use a whisk to mix the Purecane™ Confectioners Sweetener, lemon juice, and almond milk (or milk of choice) together to make the frosting.
  5. Once the cake is finished baking, cool completely, and then drizzle your frosting over the top.
  6. Serve and enjoy!
