Vanilla Cake with Coconut Cream

When I make my calcium supplement with the eggs and lemon juice,  am always left with raw eggs that have a lemon flavor so I have been on the lookout for something to make with them. I decided to try a vanilla cake thinking a hint of lemon would be yummy. So I found a cake recipe and subbed flour for a gluten free mix and sugar for xylitol to make it a "free" food. I have always really wanted to try out this recipe for coconut cream whipped "cream". The results......DELICIOUS coconut whipped cream! The cake was a little heaven so I may play with the recipe a little bit but all in all, the experiment was a success!!!!

Vanilla "Lemon" Cake

1 cup white sugar

1/2 Cup of Coconut Butter

2 Eggs (I used my lemon eggs)

2 Teaspoons of Vanilla Extract        

1 1/2 Cups of Trader Joes Gluten Free Flour

1 3/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder

3/4 Cup of Coconut or Almond Milk                                                      

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch pan or line a muffin pan with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. For cupcakes, bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch.

All ready to be baked!
