The Vaishnava Chef
By Ananga Sundari Dasi
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 tblsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp poppy seeds
Method
Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Sift all dry ingredients including poppy seeds
and set aside.
Beat together sugar, butter and oil until sugar
is well dissolved, immediately add buttermilk,
lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract,
whisk well.
Gradually add dry ingredients and fold, do not
stir constantly as mixture will turn out stiff and
cake will be hard.
Pour batter into a greased loaf tin and bake
until done (skewer test).
I made a loaf out of this recipe but muffins will
work well too.
Offer to Krishna and serve.
