simple whole wheat lemon cake recipe

simple whole wheat lemon cake

You need:

125 g butter (room temperature)

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

3 organic lemons (clean with hot water)

1 cup maple syrup

1 cup kefir

3 eggs

• preheat your oven to 325° Fahrenheit
• generously butter the cake pan
• cream the butter, and slowly pour in the maple syrup. 
• beat in the eggs and add the lemon zest and juice as well as the kefir.
• mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients  
• bake at 325 Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes. The cake is done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. 

I made this cake for my little ones. The cake is really moist and a big hit. I try to limit their sugar intake and have for that reason skipped the lemon glazing.

lemon glazing:

keep the lemon zest for the glazing, add 2 tbsp lemon juice and add powdered sugar. Mix well and cover the cake with it. 

Guten Appetit!
