This was a great loaf cake! Dense, moist, flavorful - everything I was hoping it would be. My vegan brother begged me for a lemon cake, so I made it this morning. We ate the entire thing, just the two of us, in one sitting! I'm on a mission to show people that vegan foods (and desserts in particular) can be delicious and satisfying. This is going to be a recipe that I use time and again to prove that point. Thanks so much!

I don't really cook, and I wanted to make a healthy lemon cake for my parents with this less traditional recipe. For someone who is not vegan, this cake looked strange when out of the oven. I guess I was expecting a fluffy cake like what I'm used to, but one bite and I was hooked. It looks weird, but it tastes great and feels good after I've eaten it. My mom enjoyed it too!

This was a great treat! I love that the ingredients were basics, nothing crazy that I had to go out shopping for. I used applesauce as the egg substitue (1/4 cup applesauce mixed w/ 1/2 teaspoon baking powder per "egg") and it was perfect. I think I will try to make a thicker glaze but the cake was moist and very tasty! My husband loved it and it was very easy to make!
