How to Make Heart Healthy Flax Cake
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup dried cranberries, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup orange juice. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow cranberries to plump.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup ground flaxseed, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and ½ cup orange juice.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the cranberry mixture.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.
