Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat together the vegan butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer or a whisk until light and fluffy.
Step 4
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
Step 5
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.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Once cooled, slice the cake and serve. Enjoy your delicious Vegan Madeira Cake!
