Vegan Lemon Cake (Tangy Baby)

Hello Tangy Buddy

Hello Parrots!


 Fall comes, and I say screw Pumpkins, they get far too much press in October. We're doing lemons here. A sweet-tart bliss in the mouth. Here's a plant-based lemon cake that is super yummy for breakfast with coffee. It also works if you happen to have High Tea like the British.

Ok, so I like things tangy, so I have added a bit more lemon juice than traditional recipes require, but in my (esteemed) opinion, I think it kicks the sweet factor to new levels of yum on the tongue. I've also got a super quick vegan sugar frosting to add to the sweet-ass factor.


What You Need

Cake Ingredients 

2 cups Flour

1 cup sugar

1 Tablespoon Vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup vegetable/olive oil

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (adds moisture)

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 (small/Indian lemon/limes) juiced

2 teaspoons grated lemon rind


Frosting Ingredients

2 cups powered sugar

11/2 lemon juice

1 -2 tablespoon water

How to put the Baby Together 


In a large bowl whisk your oil, sugar, vanilla, salt, lemon juice, and vinegar. Add baking powder +soda to a bowl filled with your flour and mix gently. Now add this to the wet mixture and keep stirring till the batter is smooth.

It's smooth enough now

Preheat you oven to 185c. In a greased pan pour your batter and put it in the oven for about 25-30 minututes. Do the knife-check to make sure it's done.

When your cake is in the oven, start making the frosting.

This is super simple, in a bowl dump you powdered sugar, make sure there are NO lumps. Now add your juice and beat. It will be thick and lumpy, add a table spoon of water. Add tiny amount of water till you get the consistency of a thick glaze, as shown in the picture. Yum. Set it aside.

Don't screw up the consistency 

Once your cake is done let it cool for at least an hour. Now you can dump your glaze over it. Tah-dah! It's done. Be wise and always share your cake.


Aite, that's what I have for now! Enjoy. Be kind and keep it real!
