Ingredients
For the Super Moist Trimtastic Lemon Cake
For the Optional Creamy Frosting
For the Optional Dairy-Free Lemon Glaze
Instructions
-
For the Cake
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch square glass baking dish or 9-inch round cake or pie plate with coconut oil spray.
-
Trim the squash, chop into a few pieces, and process well in a food processor so it is not mush but broken down into tiny pieces. Add the eggs, butter, lemon juice, Baking Blend, sweetener, salt, baking powder, extracts, and lemon zest (if using) and process well.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan. While the cake is cooling, make either the frosting or the dairy-free glaze.
-
Keep the cake refrigerated until ready to eat.
-
For the Creamy Frosting
Blend all the ingredients in a blender until thickened. Frost the cake in the pan or invert the cake onto a plate and frost it.
-
Keep the cake refrigerated until ready to eat.
-
For the Dairy Free Glaze
Whisk the glaze ingredients together (if you want an absolutely smooth glaze, run the Gentle Sweet through your coffee grinder first). Spread the glaze over the cake.
-
Keep the cake refrigerated until ready to eat.
