Mini Vanilla Pound Cake Loafs. Vegan Pound Cake Recipe

So, Even though my liking for Tofu has moved from dislike to mildly like, I still prefer to use other options if I possibly can in recipes. Pound cake is one of them. Most recipes I have seen on the interwebz use tofu in the batter to get the dense eggy pound cake texture.

During the Valentine’s week, I was trying to develop a recipe for a good vanilla souffle and as luck would have it, the result was never a souffle. But it was delicious (I ate at least 4 mini jars that day) and the texture, smell and taste reminded me of a pound cake :). So I decided to try the same method I was using to make me some pounds cake loafs. After a couple of tries here are some awesome Pound cakes.

The fun ingredient here is a roux. A thick flour roux + extra flax seed meal, makes for a soft spongy and dense cake. You can add lesser roux for a softer lighter cake and more for a denser firm version. And those flecks are brown flax meal. Use golden flax seeds for whiter cakes.

I added some lemon zest to one loaf and loved it! TGIF. Make some this weekend!

Steps:
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix flaxmeal and milk in another bowl.



Make the roux by cooking the flour with oil and then adding almond milk to make a thick mix.



Mix the roux in the flax mixture and then add to dry and mix into a stiff batter.



Drop and shape the batter into greased mini loaves. 



Bake until golden. Cool for 10 mins, slice and serve.
