1/4 cup brown teff grain
1/8 cup water
3/4 cup apple juice
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup vanilla soy milk
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup teff flour
1/2 cup quinoa flour
1/4 cup poppy seed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil an 8-inch loaf pan and set aside.

2. Place the teff in a small bowl. Bring the water to a boil and pour it over the teff. Let stand 10 minutes.

3. Place the apple juice, maple syrup, oil, lemon juice, soymilk, and vanilla in a blender and blend until smooth.

4. Combine the whole wheat flour, teff flour, quinoa flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the apple juice mixture, teff grain, and zest, and stir until well combined.

5. Spoon the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

6. Allow to cool 30 minutes before serving.

For a Change . . .
• Use nutty, earthy-flavored Bhutanese red rice flour instead of quinoa flour.
• For an orange-flavored poppy seed cake, do the following: use orange juice instead of apple juice, omit the lemon juice, and increase the soymilk to 1/2 cup. Use a combination of 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour and 1/2 cup teff flour.
