Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

100ml vegetable oil, plus extra for the tin
275g self-raising flour
200g golden caster sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 lemon, zested, 1/2 juiced
150g icing sugar
½ lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Oil a 1lb loaf tin and line it with baking parchment. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and lemon zest in a bowl. Add the oil, lemon juice and 170ml cold water, then mix until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into the tin. Bake for 30 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove and transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool fully.
  • For the icing, sieve the icing sugar into a bowl. Mix in just enough lemon juice to make an icing thick enough to pour over the loaf (if you make the icing too thin, it will just run off the cake).

VEGAN LEMON CAKE



VEGAN LEMON CAKE image

This recipe is from the Ethical Baker and is a family favorite as our family mainly consists of vegans and vegetarians. By this cake being vegan is a bit more gentle on the waistline. Try to use unwaxed lemons when possible as they are a lot nicer and cleaner to use!

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

275 g self-rising flour
200 g caster sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 lemon zest and juice
100 ml vegetable oil

  • Mix thoroughly to make sure all is combined well.
  • Pour into a lined cake tin and bake for 30 minutes until fully cooked at around 200 Celcius.
  • When the cake is cool it's definitely worth making a glaze for the top, this is done by sieving the icing sugar and stirring in lemon juice until the consistency is wet enough to pour over the cake.

Tips:

  • Use good quality, fresh lemons for the best flavor.
  • Zest the lemons before juicing them to get the most flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy for a finer crumb.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the batter.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with milk.
