Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 200 grams vegan butter
- 180 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat together the vegan butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer or a whisk until light and fluffy.
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the almond milk, starting and ending with the flour. Mix gently until just combined. 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 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the cake and serve. Enjoy your delicious Vegan Madeira Cake!
