Can anyone tell me where to purchase or order malt extract? It's an
ingredient in a recipe like this for example:
Vegan Lemon Sponge Cake 2 cups wholemeal self-raising flour 1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup demerara sugar
2/4 cup vegetable margarine
3/2 cup hot water 2 tablespoons malt extract 2 lemons Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6
Use two 23cm/9 inch sandwich tins.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl, add the sugar and mix well by lifting and sprinkling,
using a spoon. Put the margarine to melt in a small saucepan over a low heat. Remove from heat as
soon as it's melted.
Put the hot water in a jug together with the malt extract and set aside. Finely grate the lemon
rinds, add to the dry ingredients and mix in by lifting and sprinkling as before. Squeeze the
lemons, add the juice to the water and malt mixture and stir until the malt has completely
dissolved.
Preheat the oven and prepare the sponge tins by lightly greasing and flouring them. As quickly as
you can, add the melted margarine to the dry ingredients and stir well in, followed immediately by
the water, malt and lemon juice mixture. Beat well for a few moments only before transferring equal
amounts to each of the two prepared sponge tins and placing them in the preheated oven. Bake till
the top goes firm and golden brown (about 20-25 minutes), or test with a warm knife. Allow to cool
before removing from the tins.
