Chocolate Nugget-Orange Flax Cake

For this edition of the Home Bakers hosted by Joyce of Kitchen Flavours, the chosen cake is the Chocolate Nugget-Orange Flax Cake, picked by me. I have never baked a cake with flaxseed meal (I usually bake it in bread) and because I love orange and chocolate which are both ingredients for this cake, this was my cake of choice. 



This cake is definitely a healthier choice as only some oil is used and the cake is largely moistened by yoghurt and honey. The use of wholemeal flour and flaxseed meal adds a good amount of fiber to this cake as well. 


The combination of chocolate, orange and nuts add a flavourful punch. My family enjoyed this cake very much. 


Chocolate Nugget  Orange Flaxseed Cake
By Lou Seibert Pappas

Ingredients
  • 1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole-wheat pastry or whole-meal flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1.5 cups low fat plain yoghurt or buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp thawed frozen orange juice concentrate (I substituted with orange juice)
  • 2 tbsp grated orange zest
  • 1.5 cups flax cereal (I used flaxseed meal)
  • 3/4 cups dried currants or golden raisins
  • 3/4 cups chopped walnuts
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Method
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter and flour a 9 by 13 inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt and granulated sugar. Stir to blend.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the oil, buttermilk or yoghurt, honey, orange juice concentrate and orange zest.
  • Add to dry ingredients and mix until just blended.
  • Mix in the flax cereal and currants or raisins.
  • Turn into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Toss the nuts and chocolate chips together and sprinkle evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 25 to 35 mins or until the cake is golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. Serve warm, cut into squares or strips.

  15. Hi Mich,

    Knowing you, I know that you will choose this recipe when I saw it in this book :p

    I'm never a flax seed person but used to see my mum eating heaps with her breakfast or smoothies. I prefer the idea of incorporating flax seeds into a cake rather than in cereal or drinks. Hmmm...
