I changed the recipe to this:

Sunshine’s Birthday cake

3 cups spelt flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
6 Tbsp carob powder
1/2 cup agave nectar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ cup olive cooking oil
1 cups water

I did that thing with the flax seeds too.

Using Flax Seed:
For each egg needed, place in blender:
1 heaping tablespoon of whole organic flax seed, blend until it becomes a fine meal. Add 1/4 cup cold water blend 2-3 minutes until thickened and has the consistency of eggs. Each 1/4 cup of Flax seed mixture will replace one egg in baking"

1. Sift dry ingredients
2. Add liquids and mix well.
3. Bake at 170°C in a 20-22 cm round greased tin for 55 minutes or until skewer comes out clean.

It was a glorious success.

My wife gave it 9.5 out of 10, and that is high praise indeed. She said it tastes just like a normal cake. She though the consistency was perfect.

I thought it was a bit “heavy” but considering this is the first cake I have eaten for at least 2 years……..was lovely. Very easy to make too.

Next time I will soak the flour overnight in the ACV (to activate the enzymes) and soak the flax seeds o/n too.

I would have put coconut oil in, but my wife does not like it, so I used olive oil instead.

Oh yes…the iceing……..glorious too…….

Handful of cashew nuts in the blender plus a touch of agave, plus the juice a 1 lemon……easy peasy……..heavenly!
