Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and grease a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin, then line it with baking parchment.

Add the eggs to the sugar and oil mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest to incorporate them into the batter.
Step 6
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with almond milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 9
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once the cake is completely cool, it can be sliced and served. Enjoy your dairy-free Madeira cake with a cup of tea or as a delightful dessert.
