How to make it
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- In a smaller bowl whisk together the oil, buttermilk (or soy milk and a splash of vinegar) and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients all at once to the dry ingredients. Fold together until the ingredients are well combined, but notovermixed.
- Spread batter out into baking pan and bake for 25-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, assemble the lemon glaze. Mix the powdered sugar with the lemon until smooth and loose enough to drizzle easily.
- When cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and use a toothpick or fork to dot holes in the warm cake. While the cake is still warm, slowly drizzle it with lemon glaze, spreading out the glaze to create a coating that will dry and harden slightly.
- Let cool to room temperature and serve topped with slightly whipped cream.
