I love hemp seeds and find that they make any baked good so soft and moist! This is a great recipe for that because it incorporates hemp protein. I also love lemon I find it so refreshing and tasty in baked goods and such a summery and happy addition to any dessert! I also love how many of these recipes include flax seed eggs and give alternates to ingredients! This recipe for hemp protein lemon poppy seed cake looks so delicious, thank you for sharing it!
Hello,

Enjoy
This recipe sounds just like something that my Mother would make: classic but more wholesome. I like that this recipe is both better for the environment (hemp is a great cover crop!) as well as better for health (obviously being free of sugar and artificial sweeteners is great for health but also the hemp and psyllium have healthy fiber, xylitol + no refined grains is good for dental health). I will be sharing this recipe with my Mother. Thank you for the carefully designed, clever recipe, NN: I'm hoping my Mum tries it! :D
