VEGAN LEMON CAKE - vhira.com




It’s hard to believe that I used to absolutely hate lemon cake. I still don’t like the combination of lemons or oranges with chocolate, but I absolutely LOVE lemon cake!

The “secret ingredient” to make this vegan lemon cake extra moist is vegan soy yogurt.

I recommend using lemon-flavored soy yogurt, but if you can’t get hold of it you could also use plain soy or coconut yogurt.




This vegan lemon cake is one of my favorite cakes for spring and summer. It's super delicious, fluffy, and moist. The secret ingredient is soy yogurt!

Ingredients

For the vegan lemon cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup almond flour

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 1 cup lemon-flavored soy yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 cup vegan margarine

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 3 1/2 tablespoons oil

  • 3 teaspoons lemon zest

  • 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice



For the glaze:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest



Instructions
  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F.

  • Grease the bundt pan with vegan margarine and lightly dust with flour. Melt the margarine in a small pot.

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon. Pour the dough into the bundt pan and bake for about 40 minutes. Use a toothpick to check if the cake is ready. Leave in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Meanwhile make the glaze: Combine the powdered sugar, the lemon juice, and the water and stir well. Once the cake has cooled, pour the glaze over the cake and sprinkle with the remaining lemon zest. Enjoy!



Notes
  • I used lemon and lime-flavored soy yogurt for my vegan lemon cake, which worked perfectly. If you can't get hold of this flavor you could also use plain soy yogurt or coconut yogurt. In this case you could slightly increase the fresh lemon juice and the lemon zest to give the cake a deeper lemon flavor.

  • The vegan lemon cake is even better the next day! So don't eat it all at once. I know that's always hard with a cake being around, but in this case it's really worth it.

  • To make the lemon cake even moister, I added a little bit of almond flour. I really like the texture and the taste it gives the lemon cake. I've experimented a bit with the almond flour and I ended up replacing about 1/5 of the all-purpose flour with the almond flour. However, you could also leave it out and use 100 % all-purpose flour.

  • I’ve had some readers use this vegan lemon cake as a base for other cakes for example chocolate cakes, marble cakes, or berry cakes. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but they told me it worked out great.

  • I used a 9 x 4.5 inch bundt pan for my vegan lemon cake with a nonstick coating.

RubySnap Judy Orange Cream Cookies

There’s a little hidden gem in a small shop right outside of downtown Salt Lake City, Utah that sells unique cookies that keeps me coming back for more. It’s called RubySnap and they have quite the following. We have a tradition of traveling to Park City every October to watch a football game and see actual leaves change colors. It’s a rite of passage to visit RubySnap to get our cookie fix when we are in town. Last time we were there, I brought all of my brothers along with me. We are all crazy foodies! We sampled almost every single flavor and went home with two large boxes of cookies. My Dad was shaking his head at our antics. I told him that he raised us to love good food! After partaking way too many cookies, we voted on our favorites and since then, I am have been busy in the kitchen trying to replicate their famous cookies. This copycat recipe took some trial and error in the kitchen and I think we finally nailed it! This RubySnap Judy Orange Cream Cookie starts...
