Jane Eyre's Seed Cake
How to make the seed cake that Ms. Temple serves to Jane Eyre and her closest friend at boarding school, Helen Burns! Charlotte Bronte makes the scene very special, as the other teachers are too mean to even give them extra slices of toast, but Ms. Temple brings out a whole seed cake wrapped in brown paper. They share an intimate moment in her schoolroom, with tea, and this is before Helen Burns becomes fatally sick.
INGREDIENTS
5 eggs (separated)

Ingredients:
For the cake:
2½ cups (315g) All-propose flour
1½ teaspoons Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1½ cups (300g) Sugar
4 tablespoons (35g) Poppy seeds
4 Eggs
3/4 cup (170g) Butter, softened
1/4 cup (60g) vegetable Oil
1 1/3 cups (320ml) Buttermilk
Lemon zest from 2 lemons
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
For the frosting:
1 cup (240ml) Heavy cream, cold
2 cups (450g) Cream cheese, room temperature
1½ cups (190g) Powdered sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
For decorating:
Lemon zest
poppy seeds
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Butter two 8-inch (20cm) round cake pans, line with parchment paper, and butter the parchment. Set aside.
2. Sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Add salt, puppy seeds and stir. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl beat butter and sugar, beat until creamy and pale. Add oil and beat until incorporated. Add vanilla extract, lemon juice and lemon zest, beat until incorporated. Add eggs, one at the time, beating just until combined after each addition.
4. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed just until combined. Add 1/2 of the buttermilk and beat just until combined. Add another 1/3 of the flour mixture and beat just until combined. Beat the remaining buttermilk, add the remaining flour mixture and mix just until combined.
5. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool 10 minutes in the pans, release from the pans and let cool completely.
6. Make the frosting: in a large bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl beat heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold the remaining whipped cream.
7. Assemble the cake: cut the top of the cakes, place one cake layer with flat side down. Spread a layer of frosting, place the second layer of cake on top of the frosting, flat side up. Spread evenly the frosting on top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
8. Decorate with poppy seeds and lemon zest.
Notes:
• When you making the cakes, if the batter is too thick, add few tablespoons of buttermilk.
• If your cakes came out flat, you don’t need cut the top.
• If you want more lemony flavor, add one more tablespoon to the batter or add 1 teaspoon lemon zest to the frosting.

Raw pumpkin seeds (
**********
Pumpkin seeds are gluten-free and vegan. They pack a lot of nutrition, are easy to find at most stores, and are fairly inexpensive. You can also use them when you roast your own pumpkin or squash at home.
According to the USDA, pumpkin seeds — also known as pepitas — deliver considerable amounts of copper, calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, and vitamin A, E, and K. Pumpkin seeds are also packed with a meaningful amount of healthy fats.
I have used ground raw pumpkin seeds in some of my keto bread recipes here (see playlist). During my past experiments, I found that ground raw pumpkin seeds were unable to absorb moisture as much as other low carb flours hence, I had to combine it with other flour to make keto bread. This finding helped me to get the right ratio of moisture when I decided to try it for keto cake. And it turned out so well even without combining it with other low carb flours. Of course, with lower amount of moisture, it means that the amount of ground raw pumpkin seeds have to be increased to get a standard loaf. Thankfully, raw pumpkin seeds are inexpensive.
Home grinding is unable to produce a fine texture as the fats of the seeds are still intact. It's fine if there are still some chunks as they add a nice crunch to the cake. The best part is that pumpkin seeds have a neutral flavor so it makes a suitable low carb flour. I am introducing this basic cake using ground pumpkin seeds and will experiment with more flavors eventually.

FOR BEST RESULTS, WEIGH THE INGREDIENTS!
DRY INGREDIENTS
Ground raw pumpkin seeds = 360 g / 3 cups
Baking Powder = 12 g / 3 tsp
Monkfruit = 90 g / 1/2 cup (OR any keto friendly sweetener)
Salt = 4 g / 1 tsp
WET INGREDIENTS
Whole eggs = 3 large (173 g)
Olive oil = 100 ml / 0.4 cup (You can also use any keto friendly oil)
Unsweetened pea milk = 150 ml / 0.6 cup (You can also used almond or any keto friendly milk)
Vanilla extract = 1 tsp
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven at 340F or 170C.
2. Place the raw pumpkin seeds into a multi grinder and pulse a few times for few seconds each. You can also use a coffee / spice grinder or a powerful food processor. Home grinding will not produce a fine texture as the fat content of the seeds are still intact hence, if you over-grind it, they will become a paste or butter. In commercial grinding, the fat or oil are squeezed out from the seeds and sold as oil then the leftover cake is ground into powder and sold separately as flour. It's fine if there are still some chunks after grinding as they add some crunch. You can also grind in bulk and store them in the fridge or freezer for convenience.
3. In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until well combined.
4. Add all the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined. The batter is quite runny as ground pumpkin seeds cannot absorb moisture as much as other low carb flours. That is why you will notice that the amount of moisture i.e. the eggs, oil and milk are much lower compared to the moisture of other low carb flours.
5. Transfer the batter into an 8x4 inch (20x10 cm) loaf pan lined with parchment paper. You can also use any other suitable pan.
6. Top with some pumpkin seeds (optional).
7. Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean.
8. The cake can be kept at room temperature for a few days provided you have a cool and dry climate. Otherwise, it is best to refrigerate earlier for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
