Variation of original spelt cake


This is nicer according to mw.

1. 150g of flour, but this time 2/3 spelt and 1/3 whole wheat.
2. 35-40g of flaxseed plus half handful of dried raspberries and prunes (chopped).
3. 120g of liquid comprising lemoncello, lemon juice (one whole small lemon) + maple syrup and brown sugar (as usual my measuring system is "a dollop" and 2 tablespoons.). There's more lemoncello this time (prob about 6 tablespoons).
4. 2 eggs + 1 egg yolk
5. dash of cinnamon powder + nutmeg powder.
6. 1 teaspoon each of baking powder and baking soda.
7. 180g unsalted butter (soft)
8. Solution of lemoncello + icing sugar for after baking.

Mix all dry ingredients well.
In a mixing bowl mix all wet ingredients.
Then mix in the dry ingredients just enough to get them all mixed. Do not overknead.
Bake in 170C oven. First 10 mins on light steam injection. Then about 20 mins or so without steam.
Watch the whole thing brown nicely, then take out and measure temp. Unfortunately, this time my thermometer was spoilt so I aga aga.
Let the cake cool a bit.
Poke holes all over.
Spoon over the lemoncello/sugar solution well and watch it sink into the cake.

Serve warm (not hot).
