Living a healthy life is very challenging these days. The problem is we are not able to figure out exactly what is healthy and what is not healthy. You have started with great steps. I understand it will be very challenging that too with kids around. And the cake looks lovely that too eggless!!

Getting off the sugar wagon is a tough choice. And I am glad you are making it work.

I can totally understand the feeling Sapana, as I too went through that torture of seeing mom in the hospital! And that is such a brave move to quit sugars. I too ditched the non stick tawa. Prayers for your mom.. And that cake looks so good Sapana,I can literally smell the lemony flavor!

Take care Sapana and Kudos to your mom. Is she better now? I can understand the problems caused by processed food. I so much worry my kid now. When compared to him, atleast I had natural food. It’s hard but I always no to store bought mac n cheese stuff.
Between that’s one awesome cake. Perfect for sweet indulgence.

I’ve yet to use corn flour for cakes.I love the lemons that you get in your part of the world.They are not as sour as the ones we get here. Hats off to you for trying to instill healthy eating habits in your family. In that way I guess not getting so many ready made sauces and other products here is a boon as we make everything from scratch so no chemicals and preservatives.

Sending in all the love and positive energy for your mom. Hats off and that is a great idea to remove sugar from diet. It really brings in a great difference. Wanna grab those slices from the pics.

In reply to Kalyani.

Thanks, Kalyani. She is still in recovery from the side effects of all those horrible therapies.

The original recipe has four eggs but I just skipped them with 2 cups buttermilk and lemon juice. I used cornmeal just for the sake of protein, you can use plain flour or any other variation.

I can totally understand how you feel Sapana. Ever since my daughter was born, I have slowly started taking one extra precaution at a time and junking processed food. Kudos to you and your family for being able to reduce sugar so significantly. You definitely deserve a treat as yummy as this lemon bread. Looks lip smacking!

Totally get u Sapana : thats such a brave move – kudos 🙂 ! we have been on a zero sugar diet for over an year too , with occasional treats for kids only – yes the MW is out of my kitchen too for the same reason, & non stick cookware is next (we use mostly stainless steel stuff now). Is ur mom better now ?
Coming to the cake, somewhere I though I would see couple of eggs, but voila, its eggless :-)) that icing is literally tempting me to bake muffins with this .. any sub for yellow corn meal – we don’t get it here 🙂

It is so difficult when our loved ones go through so much pain and it doubles up when it is our mom. Avoiding sugar is the best thing to do. Even I am off sugar for nearly 8 months. Though it was tough at the beginning it gets easier. This lemon cake looks so so sinful. Perfect for a delicious once in a month treat.

God Bless your mom Sapna , I understand how difficult it is to see your loved ones in pain. And what you are doing I am doing almost the same things since a while now . It’s hard on blogging but most of the sugary and processed food doesn’t come home , no MW , ah we need to be cautious !
Oh btw the lemon bread looks fantastic .
