Ingredients

For the cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon zest
3/4 cup vegan milk
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

For the drizzle:

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Before you start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that your cake will bake evenly and rise properly.

Step 2: Prepare the cake batter.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted vegan butter, sugar, and lemon zest. Add the vegan milk and lemon juice and mix until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 3: Prepare the cake pan.

Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with vegan butter and dust with flour. Pour the cake batter into the pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 4: Prepare the drizzle.

While the cake is baking, prepare the drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and sugar until combined. Set aside.

Step 5: Drizzle the cake.

Once the cake has finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Once cooled, pour the lemon drizzle over the cake and spread it out evenly. Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
