Source of recipe: This recipe came about when I was trying to make some lemon blondies. I had made brownies from this recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Scrum-Diddly-Umptious-Vegan-Brownies-15... at recipezaar, but wanted to make blondies instead. I then had a great idea that I wanted to make them have a hint of lemon. I also wanted to change the texture, and voila--a simple cake was made!*It must be noted that essential oils in excess in cooking can be unsafe and cause health problems. However, I did some research and discovered the amount I use is more than safe!
