Lemon Cake with Poppy Seeds and Chia Seeds—a perfect treat for healthy breakfasts and springtime snacks
Ingredients (serves 6)
-
- 80 grams made from quinoa flour
- 80 grams made from rice flour
- 40 grams of almond flour
- 200 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 180 grams coconut sugar
- 4 fresh organic eggs
- 1 packet phosphate- and gluten-free baking powder
- Grated from the skin of 1 large yellow lemon
- Juice from half a yellow lemon
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon made with chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (for greasing the pan)
Preparation
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a rectangular pan with coconut oil. Set aside.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: Mix the quinoa, rice, and almond flours together with the baking powder. Sift the mixture to achieve a lighter, more uniform texture.
- Cream the butter: Place the softened butter in a large bowl along with the coconut sugar and beat until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Add the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to achieve a stable, airy batter.
- Add the lemon: Add the lemon zest and freshly squeezed juice to enhance the cake's natural citrus aroma.
- Combine the flours: Add the flour mixture in three batches, stirring gently after each addition until you have a smooth, lump-free dough.
- Add the seeds: Add the poppy seeds and chia seeds, stirring gently to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
- Bake the cake: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes approximately, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let stand: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before removing it from the pan to preserve its moistness and fluffy texture.
