Eggless Cinnamon Coffee Cake

August 21, 2014 by Saras 10 Comments

             Coffee cake is a common cake or sweet bread available in many countries which is eaten alongside coffee  during a "coffee break".  And it is not necessaary to contain coffee in it. Coffee cakes may be flavored with cinnamon or other spices, seeds, nuts and fruits. These cakes sometimes have a crumbly or crumb topping called streusel and/or a light glaze drizzle. (info:wiki pedia)
         Today we are going to see a healthy egg replacer in this cake - Flax seed. Flax seeds is plant grown for both seeds and fiber. It has been used to produce linen for more than 5000 years, This versatile plant is also used to make dye, paper, medicine and soap.
          Flax seed is the most concentrated source of omega 3 fatty acids, which we have to make it stable in our diet apart from baking. You can used it as whole or ground one in your cookies, oatmeal, breads...
          For eggless baking you have to use 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoon of water to replace 1 egg in the recipe. Mix and rest it for 1 or 2 minutes til it form a thick and jelly kinda texture. Flex seeds works best in baked goods that are grainer and nuttier such as waffle, pancake, oatmeal cookies etc..

    I too frequently use flax-seed powder as an egg substitute. Your cake has turned out fluffy.
