VEGAN LEMON CAKE

Submitted by Toni F.

"This recipe is from the Ethical Baker and is a family favorite as our family mainly consists of vegans and vegetarians. By this cake being vegan is a bit more gentle on the waistline. Try to use unwaxed lemons when possible as they are a lot nicer and cleaner to use!"

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 275 g self-rising flour
• 200 g caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 lemon zest and juice
• 100 ml vegetable oil
• 170 ml cold water
• 150 g confectioners' sugar

directions

1. Put flour, baking powder, sugar, and zest into a bowl and mix well before adding the oil, juice and the water.
2. Mix thoroughly to make sure all is combined well.
3. Pour into a lined cake tin and bake for 30 minutes until fully cooked at around 200 Celcius.
4. When the cake is cool it's definitely worth making a glaze for the top, this is done by sieving the icing sugar and stirring in lemon juice until the consistency is wet enough to pour over the cake.
