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!

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!

Great Flavor. Recipe is inappropriately named "cake" as the denseness leads this to be much more of a "bread". I'd compare this to banana or zucchini bread. With that said, I was very pleased to find a recipe that negated egg and butter. I doubled the entire recipe. I took the advice of fellow reviewers and: replaced margarine with 1/3 cup of olive oil x 2. Replaced 2 egg substitute with one whole banana mashed with 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder + 1/2 cup of applesauce with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda (this was equal to 2 eggs). The added baking soda was in addition to the baking soda called for in the recipe, which again I doubled. Also added about 1/2 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice to the bread mix. The glaze is a must, continue to add powder sugar until you reach the thickness you desire. This is a great recipe but don't get your tongue set to have a light, fluffly cake - this will be a dense moist lemon bread that goes great with a cup of black coffee. Enjoy.

Wow this bread is good. I followed the cooking time which was precise the crust is sweet and golden brown with a slight crunch. I added a 1/4 cup of blueberries to the batch before baking and the lemon zest adds a burst of citrus and compliments the berries. I used I mashed bananna instead of the egg replacer which helps the bread to retain its moisture. Will double the batter next time to share with company.

I made this cake gluten and vegan by substituting the flour for a rice flour, potato starch and tapioca starch and guar gum. As soon as I took the cake out of the oven I poked holes in the cake and poured a lemon juice and sugar glaze over the cake and allowed it to soak in. The cake is small if you make it into a bunt cake.

This recipe is DELICIOUS! I took it to potluck, and several people wanted the recipe. I did make some changes, however, I used white sugar instead of brown, and I didn't use all the lemon juice in the icing. I found that to make the icing the right consistency, you really need to use more powdered sugar, and maybe a little bit of margerine--but that's just me. The taste was EXCEPTIONAL!
