Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, then line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Add the almond milk and lemon juice to the wet ingredients, mixing well to incorporate.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the loaf pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your delicious dairy-free vanilla loaf cake. Enjoy!
