A good bread replacement when doing a low carb diet. All of the carbohydrate in the flax meal is fiber. Plus flax is super good for you! Great as a sandwich, with jelly, or with some edamame hummus. This is adapted from a recipe found on about.com.

Time 22m

Yield 1 loaf, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups flax seed meal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons Splenda sugar substitute
2 eggs
1/2 cup water
4 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Combine dry ingredients and mix with fork or whisk.
  • Make a well in the center and add wet ingredients.
  • Mix, making sure eggs integrate well.
  • Let sit for five minutes.
  • Spread on greased cookie sheet or silicone mat to desired thickness, I like it to be about 9 x 10 inches.
  • Bake 10-15 minute.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality flax meal: Freshly ground flax meal will give your cake a better flavor and texture. You can grind your own flax seeds in a coffee grinder or food processor, or you can buy pre-ground flax meal from the store.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This low-carb flax cake is a delicious and healthy way to satisfy your sweet tooth. It's made with simple ingredients, and it's easy to make. Whether you're following a low-carb diet or not, you'll love this cake!
