Lemon Pound Cake (Tofu for extra protein) *Vegan

by Rawr Organics

This recipe is light, moist & soft. It has around 1/2 the sugar content of most Lemon Pound cakes yet is still a treat. I usually prefer to use almond, oat or coconut flour; however most advised against this for the best texture. 

*Loaf is still yummy without the glaze if you're avoiding excess sugar.
