Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the sugar, vegetable oil, and applesauce. Mix until well combined.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Stir until incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Slowly mix in the almond milk, alternating with the dry ingredients. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until everything is just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar with the lemon juice until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
