One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2016 was to make a new recipe every week for the entire year. So far, I’ve kept to my New Year’s resolution and my family has enjoy a lot of new foods that they wouldn’t of tried any other way. It’s a great way to experiment with new cuisines and try out new foods that the entire family will enjoy.
Like my daughter Shelly, I enjoy cooking but really love to get into the kitchen and bake! I love making all kinds of different cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pies and breads.
The recipe I’m sharing with all of you today is from Gaea. You can visit their website to learn more about the company, their products and to look through other recipes that they have to offer.
Gaea Lemon Zest Cake Recipe
1 ½ cups organic rye flour
¼ teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
¼ cup finely ground pine nuts
Zest of 2 lemons
1 cup organic sugar cane
3 eggs
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup Greek yogurt
2/3 cup Gaea Fresh extra-virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease the pan. In a medium bowl mix the flour, sea salt, baking powder and pine nuts. Next, mix the lemon zest into the sugar cane. In a separate bowl mix the zesty sugar cane with 3 eggs for about 2 minutes, then add the lemon juice, Greek yogurt and Gaea olive oil. Combine both bowls and pour the batter into the cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
This sounds good. I love rye flour, and I’m thinking this must be nice and moist with the olive oil. I’d love to try it.
We love everything lemon.
I will be making this soon!
Thanks for the recipe.
That looks so good. I love lemon cakes!
I pretty much love lemon anything, so this looks great to me! And I still have my Grandma’s old bundt cake pan, so I might try this!
It’s in the 80s this week so no firing up the oven and baking, but I do want to try olive oil in a cake. I love lemon anything so this sounds good to me. Your pic reminds me I haven’t made a bundt cake in ages so I would have to hunt for my pan!
I think that this cake would be nice and moist with the yogurt and the olive oil. I like lemon flavored anything.
What a great New Year’s resolution! I gave up on them years ago, but yours is a fun challenge. I might just have to jump in now with a Mid-Year resolution to join the fun. I don’t have the ingredients to make your pretty cake, but I do love the idea of trying a new recipe each week.
You should! My mother has been having a fun time with her resolution and we’ve been enjoying tasting out the new recipes she’s been trying. We will be featuring many of them here on the blog Anne. If you ever want to snap a pic and email us the recipe, we can feature one of your’s too!
This is an interesting recipe. I have never made a cake with rye flour. I love the idea of using olive oil and these healthy ingredients
This cake looks very good for the party I am having tomorrow night. I am going to try this out. I hope that I can cook it as good as in your nice photo.
