Ingredients for Vegan Buckwheat Lemon Cake🍋🍰
- 6 cups buckwheat flour
- 4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup plant milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup plant yoghurt plain or fruit flavoured (we used blueberry from Nush this time)
- 1 cup xylitol
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (2 large lemons should yield enough juice
-
Zest from 2 wax free lemons (we’ve figured it’s best to zest the lemons whole)
Dewax lemons 🍋 and embrace zest without worry – #CookEveryPart
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
Cooking Instructions for making Vegan Buckwheat Lemon Cake🍋🍰
Gather you ingredients together. It’s more efficient to have every thing at hand 🍋.
Mix the xylitol and the yeast in the warm water and leave to sit for 10 minutes. We like to clean up during this time 🧼🧹.
Add the the yeast water along with the rest of the ingredients.
Give everything a good mix🥣.
If we like to give the ‘batter’ a whisk to get rid of lumps and to get everything incorporated.
Brush your cake with some oil (we forgot to do that step 😱🤦♀️ but we think it’s a Non-stick (hopefully) ) then pour your lovely ‘batter’ in. Remember: it’ll at least get 1/4 higher when rising.
If your ‘batter’ is too high, take some out. We did twelve muffins as well because we didn’t have our big cake tin. (Not at home at the moment)
Put the ‘batter’ to rise in a warm place for one hour. We put in the oven on 50 degrees C with a pan of water.
If not using an oven to prove the cake, preheat it to 200 degrees C at 30min after putting the ‘batter’ to prove. If using an oven to prove, either turn the heat up 5mins before the 1 hour is over or keep baking for 5mins after the cooking time.
Bake for 20-25mins. Try not to open the oven and slam it shut during baking as the cake may sink.
After baking, stick a clean knife or cocktail stick in the centre of the cake, if it comes out dry, the cake is done 🍰! Let it cool before enjoying.
Eat within 5 days in the fridge (2 days unrefrigerated). We will try to post our icing recipe soon too. If you use plain yoghurt, the cake can be eaten with anything.
PS. Yes the cake came out of the tin ok 😅.
