Delicious vegan Lemon Cake

Lemon cakes are super simple to make. But also if you wanna turn it into a vegan treat? Sure! Here's our easy and delicious recipe:

Ingredients

• 300g whole wheat flower

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 110g cane sugar

• Zest of one lemon

• 100g (3.5oz) olive oil

• 1 vanilla bean

• 240g coconut yoghurt

• 50g margarine (vegan)

• 100ml lemon juice, freshly pressed

• A pinch of poppy seeds

• 1/2 tsp salt

Icing

• 200g icing sugar

• 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice, freshly pressed

• 1 tsp water (if needed)

How to

1. Pre-heat your oven at 160°C / 320°F.

2. Mix the flower, baking powder, vanilla, lemon zest, coconut yoghurt, poppy seeds, sugar and salt in a bowl.

3. Add the olive oil, melted margarine and lemon juice. Mix all ingredients until you get a smooth dough.

4. Grease your cake form with margarine.

5. Fill your cake batter into the form and place it in your oven for 45-50 minutes. Check with a long toothpick if the cake is done. Cover the cake with some aluminium foil, if it needs a bit more time and your cake already has the right color.

6. Let the cake cool off.

7. Mix the icing sugar and lemon juice until you receive a creamy texture. If it's not creamy enough, add a tiny bit of water. The icing shouldn't be too liquid.

8. Spread the icing on top of your cold cake.

9. Enjoy!
