Its a beautiful day, the sun has been shining, its cold - but clear...crisp...fresh. (Much like RAW food!)Cub scouts was last night and then we had a basketball game today (which we lost by one or two points..RATS! But it was SO exciting!)
Then it was a quick trip to the grocery store for me and then LG had a friend over. While they were hanging out I decided to try my hand at a recipe I saw the other day on the Raw Freedom Community Forum.
Its for a lemon poppy seed cake. Here is mine.
Pretty huh?
The base is almonds which I ground in a coffee grinder into a flour.....and flax seeds which I also ground...and then there's shredded jicama and apple and the juice of a lemon, poppy seeds...and a few other things. The frosting is coconut oil, agave, lemon juice.
It turned out according to the recipe I think....although I'm not sure exactly what I think about it.
It has a good flavor....and a so-so consisteny.....(not overly wet but not as 'cake-like' as it
probably could be. next time I'd up the almond flour).I also wasn't sure what to think about the frosting. I placed the entire cake into the fridge afer it was done and the icing ended up being hard....and 'weird'....I can't realy explain it but I wasn't crazy about the texture of it.
The cake was overall rather tangy -- my Mother tried the cake and liked the entire thing, so its quite possible it was just me.
I will post the entire recipe and some of the other recipes tomorrow - I PROMISE!!
NIGHT!
