Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice for glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar, almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid a dense loaf.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust the consistency as needed by adding more lemon juice or sugar.
Once the loaf is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top, letting it trickle down the sides.
Slice the loaf and serve. Enjoy your delicious and zesty vegan lemon loaf!
