Lemon Coffee Cake

I actually really like having cake for the weekend. Its so great to enjoy a cup of coffee for breakfast with some nice coffee cake...unfortunately I do not bake that regularly. This week however I really felt like some type of Lemon Coffee Cake (or is it lemon pound cake, but then again what makes it a "pound" cake?). I found this very easy recipe and adjusted it only to use Earth Balance instead of butter, and Soy Milk instead of milk. - Here it is:

LEMON COFFEE CAKE

- 3 Cup Flower

- 2 Cup Sugar

- 1 Cup Soy/Rice Milk

- 2-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder

- 4.4 oz Earth Balance (Margarine) FYI - 125 gr

- 3 eggs, separated

- 2 Lemon, juiced and peel grated

***Preheat oven to 350 F***

1. Separate the eggs

2. Beat whites until peaks form

In separate bowl mix:-

3. Flower, with baking powder and add

4. Egg yolk. Earth Balance, and Soy Milk

5. Mix together

6. Add Lemon Peel

7. Add the egg whites and mix carefully (use spoons) under the dough

8. Pour batter in a well greased Bundt Pan (Gugelhupf Pan)

9. Bake for about 1 hour in the pre-heated oven


When the cake is done


10. Mix Lemon with some powdered sugar and brush mixture on the warm cake

When the cake is completely cooled down, sift powdered sugar over it

Please let me know if you like the cake, or made any adjustments. Thank you :)
