I take this cake when asked to bring dessert for potluck lunches. The ladies sometimes come to blows to see who gets to take home the leftovers! Ingredients:
1/3 cup sugar |
1 egg |
3 tablespoons canola oil |
3 tablespoons orange juice |
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract |
2/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon poppy seeds, optional |
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, egg, oil, orange juice and extract. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to egg mixture and mix well. Stir in poppy seeds if desired.
2. Pour into a greased and floured 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. For glaze, in a small bowl, whisk confectioners' sugar and lemon juice until smooth; drizzle over cake. Yield: 1 mini loaf (6 slices).
