I really need to get my hands on some jicama. I just got my newsletter from 'The Raw Family' and guess who's recipe is included... you guessed it! "Lemon Poppy Seed Cake - From our good friend and raw gourmet chef from Medford, Oregon, Josephine Lee aka Joz) This cake seems to be everywhere, now if I could only find some jicama to make it LOL.
So Lemony and the frosting so creamy!
Cake
1 1/2 c ground/grated jicama
1 Granny Smith apple pealed & ground
2 c. almonds soaked/dehydrated ground fine
4 T golden flax ground fine
1/4 c agave
1 tsp vanilla
lemon juice and zest of 1 lemon
1/2 c poppy seeds.
Mix all Ingredients and form in any shape you want; I made a 5 1/2 inch rounddish lined with saran wrap.
Then topped the first layer with Frosting
Then topped the 2nd layer/round. Flip out and place on a plate and frost the whole cake (top & sides)
Frosting: ****THIS IS SO LIKE 'Costco' white frosting!
1 c OMEGA NUTRITION coconut oil (it does not smell/taste coconuty) The one I used is just like Crisco!
Beat/Whip this with beaters! From my SAD baking days!
Add 1/4 c agave juice of 1/2 lemon IF YOU LIKE MORE LEMON DO juice of 1 and or zest.
Whip again.
Spread quickly as it starts to melt a little.
Sprinkle Poppy Seeds on sides or designs if you make a different shape.
Top with Lemon zest curls or slices.
Place in Ref for an hour or so. Serve at room temperature!
This recipe is in the current Purely Delicious Magazine and is on the RAW 2008 Calendar Cover !
