Happy Weekend! Sorry, i haven’t been posting any posts lately. Today, i woke up and decided i want to bake pound cake using ingredient i have at home. I used clementine zest, poppy seeds and for sweetness i added agave nectar. It’s perfect for afternoon tea and something to satisfy your sugar craving.
Well, let’s get started with the recipe!
Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
- 2 tbsp poppy seeds or chia seeds
- 1 clementine zest
- 1 tbsp of coconut oil to grease the pan
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease your loaf pan with coconut oil and then line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In small bowl, whist together your flax meal, milk, vanilla extract.
- Using electric mixer combine flour, baking powder, salt, agave nectar or brown sugar. Now, mix it on low for about a minute.
- Add melted butter and egg mixture you made earlier.
- Add poppy seeds then zest clementine peel, about half of the clementine is enough.
- Mix everything on high speed for about a minute or two.
- Transfer the mixture into the pan.
- Add remaining half the zest on top of the cake
- Bake for about 45-55 minutes until golden brown.
