Lemon Thyme Cake/Quick Bread
March 30, 2008 at 5:47 pm | In recipe |
my new love: the thyme flavor is there, but subtly so. the lemon flavor, on the other hand, grabs you by the throat [but in a loving way!] and doesn’t let go.
anyway…
1 cup vanilla or plain soy yogurt [add 1 t vanilla extract if using plain]
1/3 cup corn oil [or canola, vegetable, even olive oil, if you dare!]
2 t pure lemon extract
zest of a small lemon [about 2 t]
juice of half a small lemon [about 2 t]
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour [spooned and leveled]
2 t baking powder
1 t dried thyme
prepare an 8-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. preheat oven to 350F.
in a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, oil, extract, zest, juice, and sugar until emulsified.
in a large bowl, sift flour and baking powder. throw in thyme [crumble it between your fingers].
add wet ingredients to dry, mix until well combined but don’t over-mix.
pour batter into prepared loaf pan. bake for 47 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
leave loaf in pan for at least half an hour, on a cooling rack. remove from pan and let cool completely before slicing.

Oh yay! I’ve been waiting for you to post this recipe. If I had any yogurt I’d make it right now!

I recently discovered lemon and rosemary + sugar as a great combination, so I am going to try this as well!

I made this today! Thanks for the recipe, it was so good. I ended up using coconut oil because it was the only oil I had left in the house other than olive (and I didn’t want to go that route). Mine was a lot lumpier looking than yours, but I don’t mind cause it’s so good. I love lemon stuff!

That’s just gorgeous, Celine. I seldom eat cake but I do like it and if want to make one, this is exactly the type I’d be tempted to make. It sounds delicious and reminds me of a pound cake I made a few times in my pre-vegan days that included lemon thyme and cream cheese. Giving this recipe a bookmark as it sounds perfect to serve at a spring or summer afternoon get together!

thanks for trying, anja and sarai! I’m glad you liked it.
Cassie, let me know what you think if you get a chance to bake one. I hope it’s close to what you used to make in your pre-vegan days. :)
