Ingredients:
30g Coconut oil
45ml Vegetable oil
10ml Milk
10ml Egg yolk
2.5ml Lemon juice
2.5ml Salt
Instruction:
Measure out the coconut oil, vegetable oil, egg yolk, milk, lemon juice and salt.
Heat the coconut oil in your microwave until melted.
Place the beaker on an ice pack or over a bowl of ice.
Pour in the vegetable oil. You can use sunflower oil, olive oil or canola.
Use your stick blender to sheer these together until well emulsified and milky.
This will take about 60 seconds.
Add the egg yolk, milk, salt and lemon juice and blend the mixture again.
Transfer the margarine to a bowl and allow it to set in your refrigerator.
And there we have it…. a bowl of homemade margarine. If you want your margarine as yellow as the commercial versions, you can add a drop of food coloring to the mixture before the second blending cycle.
1/2 cup plain soy milk ((or Ripple pea milk for soy-free))
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup refined coconut oil ((or 1 cup for the stick version))
3/4 cup canola oil ( or light olive oil or other neutral-tasting oil (use 1/2 cup for the stick version))
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon soy lecithin ((optional, but helps it not to separate).)
Instruction:
Measure 1/2 cup of plain soy milk and add 1/4 tsp lemon juice, allow the mixture to sit. Don't stir it, just let it sit and form curds in the milk.
Microwave coconut oil until it just barely melts (you don't want hot oil). Pour it into a blender or immersion blender container.
Add 3/4 cup canola oil, 1 tsp salt, and 2 tsp soy lecithin to the blender.
Pour the soy milk into the blender once the soy milk and lemon juice have sat for about 5 minutes and started to curd.
Blend on high for 1 minute until it is well mixed.
Pour into a glass container with a lid or into a butter mold.
Place in the freezer for at least 1/2 hour until it becomes completely firm then transfer it to the refrigerator. (It is important that it gets very cold quickly to set up correctly.)
Keep in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days or the freezer for up to 3 months.
I searched and searched for this recipe on the web. Never did find it. Luckily, I found a scrap of paper with the instructions scribbled on it! This is the best cake! Mom used to make it all the time as we were growing up.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch tube pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and margarine until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and lemon juice. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; mix into the batter alternating with the milk just until blended. Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the crown comes out clean. Cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
