Thank you so much for the recipe! My husband had requested a lemon cake, and being that I like to follow a healthy vegan, low gi diet, I searched the internet for the best option and yours was definitely it! I did make a few substitutions as I did not have spelt flour or soy milk or soy milk powder, so I used oat flour and all coconut milk. I had to exercise some self control as I did not want to stop eating it! Thank you again! Stacy McKee Hi Ricki,

I like your topping. Lemon is such a great warm weather dessert. I made the cake from Vcon. I like your topping. Lemon is such a great warm weather dessert.

In my baking, I'm mostly using Salba as an egg substitute, and the one teaspoon seems to work. I'll have to try out some recipes that use it specifically as a main ingredient, I guess! Hi Jedid,

It looks great and I like coconut very much. It is also another Salba recipe... but why did you decide to put only 1 tsp of Salba in the cake? It would be even more nutritious with more Salba!! I am looking forward to more healthy delicious recipes! All the best, Jedid. Hi Ricki,

(I have a vague memory of my dad's "hello" in Polish when our neighbour would visit. . . but that's about it). About the book, yes, it does seem to be making the rounds, but truthfully, I'd suggest getting it from the library first before deciding! There are a few fabulous recipes that I make over and over, but I'm not sure it's worth buying the entire book for just a few. Lindsey, What a laugh. I bookmarked the Vegan Dad's recipe, too! Both lemony, both good in their own way :) . Holler,

That's it, my only Polish phrase, but oft repeated :) Nice looking cake, I think I am going to have to give in and look out for that book, I just can't seem to escape it.

I try to use agave whenever I can, but pretty much exclusively with lemon or banana flavors, as I find it allows the fruits to shine through.

I've been wanting to experiment more with GF baking but am still a little shy of the flour mixtures and finding out that comes out just right! VeggieGirl, Thanks--we both enjoyed it (though I made sure the HH got more, of course!). Deb, Yep, that was the cake, all right! (I do think the Bundt looks prettier, though). How cool that you remembered that :) . Courtney, Thanks! (Would you talk to the HH for me about it??) ;) Re: the spelt flour, yes, I think you could just use more spelt. The original recipe (in Veganomicon) used all-purpose flour; Deb mixed AP and coconut; and I took it a step further to coconut flour and spelt. So, what the heck, give it a try! I had been looking for coconut flour for about a year over here, and finally found it at a store called Planet Organic. But supposedly Trader Joe's or Whole Foods carries it, too. CCV, Go on! So we must share some ancestors down the line somewhere. . .how very cool (well, there is that mutual love of chocolate, right?) Johanna, Yes, the HH was pretty happy, though I have to admit he was fine with the healthier stuff, too.
