Orange Flax Cake

[Guest guest]

If you haven't noticed, I love to slip flax into things. I especially

love slipping flax seed meal in, which is more digestible by your

body. Usually in most recipes, you can substitute a nice portion of

the flours with flax meal.

 

This cake is amazingly delicious, and fairly low in calories. Also,

it's got a nice amount of protein and fiber in it, and the addition

of the orange juice and orange zest really add a lovely tone to the

entire cake. See the finished deliciousness at http://www.28cooks.com.

 

Orange Flax Cake

1 c dried cranberries

1/4 c sugar

1/4 c fresh orange juice

1 c flax seed meal

2 1/4 c whole wheat flour

1/2 c sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tbsp grated orange zest

1 egg, beaten

1/4 c oil

1 1/4 c fresh orange juice

 

Preheat oven to 375. Combine first 3 ingredients in a small bowl and

set aside. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients, including

the zest. In a smaller bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, and

add them to the dry ingredients. Once well-mixed, stir in the

cranberry mixture. Place in a greased 8x8 pan, or a bundt cake pan,

and place in preheated oven. Bake 30-35 minutes, until toothpick

inserted in cake comes out dry.

Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack. Slice when cool, and serve

with drizzled honey.

 

Enjoy!
