Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 240 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 80 ml vegetable oil
- 60 ml lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons additional lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, almond milk, vegetable oil, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, prepare the lemon glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and additional lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to set before slicing.
Cut the cake into 8 slices and serve. Enjoy your vegan lemon cake slices!
