Easy Vegan Lemon Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Oil a 1lb loaf tin and line it with baking parchment. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and lemon zest in a bowl. Add the oil, lemon juice and 170ml cold water, then mix until smooth.
• Pour the mixture into the tin. Bake for 30 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove and transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool fully.
• For the icing, sieve the icing sugar into a bowl. Mix in just enough lemon juice to make an icing thick enough to pour over the loaf (if you make the icing too thin, it will just run off the cake).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 9-inch round cake pans with baking spray.
• Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• Whisk sugar, margarine, soy milk, and soy yogurt together in a large bowl. Whisk in lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, whisking well after each addition. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 32 to 35 minutes.
• Cool cakes in pans on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a cooling rack. Let cool completely before frosting, about 30 minutes.
