Starbuck's Healthy Lemon Cake

makes 8-10 slices

1/4 cup yogurt of choice

1/2 cup lemon juice

3 1/2 tbsp oil OR more yogurt of choice if oil-free is desired (35g)

1/2 tbsp pure vanilla extract

zest one lemon

1 cup spelt or white flour

scant 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp salt

1/2 cup xylitol or sugar of choice (100g)

Optional Powdered Sugar Glaze: 1/4 cup powdered sugar or sugar-free powdered sugar + 1 tsp lemon juice.

Method:

• Preheat oven to 350 F.

• Grease an 8×5 loaf pan, and set aside. In a bowl, whisk the first 5 ingredients. I

• n a separate bowl, stir together all remaining ingredients. Pour wet into dry, and stir just until evenly mixed.

• Smooth into the loaf pan, and bake 25 minutes or until loaf has risen and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

• Let cool, then spread the glaze on top if a glaze is desired.

• Glaze hardens when it cools, and you can refrigerate to expedite the process if you wish.

• For optimum freshness, store leftover lemon cake slices in the fridge or even in the freezer.

• Using the correct loaf pan size is very important if you want the recipe to turn out correctly.
