This Vegan Lemon Cake is super moist, slightly lemony, and the addition of the lemon glaze makes it just over the top good!
Vegan Lemon Cake
This Vegan Lemon Cake is one of the easiest and quickest recipes I’ve ever made, yet incredibly rewarding. It’s a favorite in my house and one of those desserts that doesn’t last long on the kitchen counter.
I have been making it for two years now because it’s tasty and easy, and a great alternative when you are looking for something lighter but just as delicious as a rich dark chocolate brownie. The batter itself is to die for! Good luck not licking the spoon and bowl clean!
Tips for the perfect Vegan Lemon Cake
- First, line the pan with parchment paper. For this cake, I used an 8-inch /20 cm square cake pan.
- Next, melt the vegan butter and the white chocolate. You won’t get a smooth mixture, that’s normal. While it cools down a bit, whisk together the coconut sugar with the apple sauce.
- Mix both mixtures and stir in the rest of the ingredients: the lemon zest, the lemon juice and the flour.
- After that, scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes.
- Let the cake cool for at least 30 minutes before removing it from the pan. Meanwhile, make the glaze by mixing together the powdered sugar with the lemon juice until smooth.
- Then, use the parchment paper to lift the cake out of the pan and place it on a wire cooling rack. When the cake is cold, spread the glaze evenly over it with a spatula, letting the glaze drip down the sides.
- Once the glaze has set, cut into 16 squares.
How to Store Vegan Lemon Cake
This cake can stay at room temperature on your kitchen counter for up to three days, if you’re making it to consume within this time. If your kitchen gets very hot or humid, then the best way to ensure that the cake stays as fresh as possible is refrigerating it.
If you’re making this cake in advance, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it. Remove it from the fridge between 1-3 hours before serving. Glaze it just before serving.
