  • In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the almond milk and lemon juice, stir with a fork, and set aside for 5-8 minutes until it appears curdled.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and coconut oil with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
  • Add the the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, red food coloring, applesauce, and almond milk mixture, and stir with a rubber spatula until well combined.

  • Make the frosting: In a large bowl, cream the vegan butter with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Add the vegan cream cheese. Sift in half the powdered sugar and beat to combine. Sift in the rest of the powdered sugar and beat again.
  • Fold in the vanilla and lemon zest with a rubber spatula until well combined.
