When life gives you lemons, make lemonade or make lemon cake ๐
Gluten free lemon cherry loaf cake with Soyabean flour and oats.
A delicious eggless cake with the mixed flavour of lemon, cherry and coconut. Cake is super soft and moist.
Not only delicious but you will love it’s colourful look when slicing.
Planning to make this cake with Soyabean flour. My Pineapple cupcakes with Soyabean flour was a super hit among my family and friends. Loved the texture of Soyabean flour cake. It was super soft and delicious.
When our bloghop member Sasmita suggested this week’s 162 #Foodiemonday bloghop theme #lemonAffair, I immediately made this cake and very happy with the taste.
I have mentioned all the health benefits of Soyabean flour in pineapple cupcake post. So no more health, today I am talking only about taste. Yes no doubt Soyabean is protein rich and nutritious. It will make your cake more delicious, soft and moist than any other flour.
You will also love the taste of cherries in this cake.
There is something about cherries that makes us want to associate it with all things sweet and decadent. When they are not sitting pretty on top of cakes, they are one of the main ingredients in desserts. Sweet, tarty and ever-so delightful, cherries enjoy a massive following across the globe. But did you know that if consumed in the right way, cherries could also prove to be a treasure trove of health benefits? Montmorency cherries, a variety of sour cherry produced in France and Canada, are packed with anti-inflammatory compounds. This bright red variant of cherry is said to be ten times more effective in healing pain than popular pain relievers available in market. The yellow and red ones (particularly sour in taste) are loaded with vitamin C. Cherries also contain significant amounts of melatonin, a unique chemical that can promote sound sleep. Cherries are also extremely high in heart-healthy potassium that regulates heart rate and blood pressure . Not just that, the ruby red delight has anti diabetic properties too. Yes, you heard us! This dessert staple, packs in antioxidants and compounds that could help manage blood sugar levels too.
