Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

175 g Flax Farm Flax Porridge
140 g Unsalted butter Salted butter is just fine too. Get it out of fridge so it's at room temperature
140 g Golden caster sugar plus 2 tbs for topping or other sugar or healthier baking sweetener
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt, not needed if using salted butter
150 g Blueberries, we use frozen Fresh are good too
1 Unwaxed lemon
2 large eggs or 3 small eggs

Method

Grease 8-inch/20-cm loose-bottomed cake tin, and line with baking parchment. Other well lined tin/dish of similar area will also work.
Preheat oven to 180C
Zest lemon and squeeze juice into a separate container
Place butter and 140g sugar in a bowl. Using a mixer thoroughly combine, then beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla and lemon lemon zest
Lightly stir in Flax Porridge and pour into prepared cake tin, scatter blueberries over the top and bake for 30-40 minutes. It's done when a skewer is inserted and comes out clean.
Before the cake is taken out warm the lemon juice and add 2 tbs sugar in a small saucepan, stir until dissolved Pour over the cooked cake while still warm. Allow to cool to room temperature, then remove from tin and serve.

Notes

Made with Flax Porridge and all the better for it. A more rugged succulent and substantial cake. perfect for a coffee break, dessert or teatime. It doesn't really need anything added but Budwig cream (100g strained, Greek fat-free yoghurt blended with 50ml Flax Farm cold-pressed flaxseed oil), whipped cream or ice-cream are lovely with it,
