  • 300 gr (2 1/3 cup) flour spelt or wheat
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 150 gr (3/4 cup) sugar (raw cane sugar or xylitol)

Instructions

  • Sieve the flower into a bowl and stir in baking soda, baking powder and salt
  • Put sugar, margarine, elderflower syrup and milk into a food processor or mixer and mix until foamy
  • Now add lemon juice and zest
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix well (but not for too long)
  • Stir in apple cider vinegar
  • Grease and flour a loaf pan (approx. 25-30 cm/10-12“)
  • Bake the cake for 30 – 40 minutes at 180°C (356°F) and check with a stick if well done
  • Mix sugar and fresh lemon juice for the icing or alternatively use elderflower syrup and sugar – this will turn out very sweet though
