1 cup unsweetened soy or almond milk

2 tbsp poppy seeds

1 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour

½ tsp baking powder

¾ tsp baking soda

⅔ cup KetoseSweet+ Powder

zest of 1 lemon

¼ cup grape seed or other neutral oil

¼ cup fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp aquafaba (the brine from a can of chickpeas) OR 1 egg

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar or Steviva Blend Fine powder

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a 9” X 5” loaf pan.

Pour soy or almond milk into a small bowl. Stir in poppy seeds and set aside to let the seeds soften.

In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and KetoseSweet+ Powder. Zest in the lemon and stir lightly to combine.

Add the grapeseed oil, lemon juice, and egg or aquafaba to the soy milk and poppy seeds. Give everything a quick stir.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the wet ingredients. Give a stir just enough to mix through.

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the tea cake is fragrant, brown on top and springs back when lightly poked.

Let cool. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, or refrigerate until completely chilled and glaze.

For Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk the two together until creamy and drizzle over cake.
