Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cups lemon juice
• 1 tablespoons lemon zest
• 0.25 cups coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a tender loaf.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the cake is cooling, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 9

Once the loaf is cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.

Step 10

Slice and serve the vegan lemon loaf cake. Enjoy the zesty flavors with a cup of tea or coffee!
