Time 50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/4 cups whole spelt flour (plus extra for dusting pan)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch sea salt
1/3 cup canola oil (plus extra for oiling pan) or 1/3 cup coconut oil (plus extra for oiling pan)
1/2 cup maple syrup or 1/2 cup agave nectar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup rice milk or 1 cup almond milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly oil a 9-inch cake pan and dust with flour.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, syrup, zest, vanilla, and milk until completely combined and smooth.
  • Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing until just smooth. Do not overmix, which will make the cake tough. The batter should not be runny.
  • Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake on center rack of oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes before delicately removing from pan. Cool completely before icing.
