If you are on a whole plant based diet, you can use 1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce as oil substitute for the vegan butter. Great recipe!

I doubled the recipe and made this into 24 muffins and it was absolutely delicious! It’s some of the best lemon cake I’ve ever had and the recipe was super easy which is what I love. Everyone I shared this with absolutely loved it and I highly recommend this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing it 👍🏼😋❤️

[@annafelka4042]

I made this it is so simple turned out great and I already had all the ingredients laying about. Some tips are, if you are using a sweetened plant milk instead of unsweetened, use a little less sugar. Also for a fluffier cake use a flour specifically for cakes not just all purpose. Lastly, it should be the consistency of pancake batter, if it seems off add a little more flour or almond milk to adjust

[@jettison27]

I love that this uses simple ingredients and no expensive flours or other substitutes. Thanks for making it easy!

[@empressptah4515]

This cake is amazing! So light and moist😋 I baked it for an extra 20 mins or so and it was perfect. Don't skip the icing because it just adds that magic 🍋touch. Thanks again for this delicious recipe❣

[@essenceraymo8708]

This cake is delicious! It rose beautifully with a golden crust. Very soft in the inside as well! However, I did use gluten-free flour. So for anyone wondering, gluten free flour works great as well! I also cooked mine for 40 minutes at 370 degrees instead of 380. I didn’t want mine to be as dark. It was moist, and the glaze worked amazing with the cake. I have one in the oven as I type, lol. Thanks for the recipe!

It was my first attempt baking a lemon cake yesterday and it was BOOM. My sister loves it too. The cake is a quarter left by now for only one day as it is just sooooooo good! Definitely gonna bake it again. Thank you for this awesome recipe!

[@Meloni40]

Ok, I tried this cake. First time it wasn't baked 100% in the middle. But everybody still loved it and nobody is Vegan. I've made this cake many, many times since now and everybody I made this for loved it. (They're all non vegans, but tried it anyways) It's fluffy, it's delicious and it's my favorite recipe!!

I always come back to this recipe! I tried it with oranges too and it was good but the taste wasn't as strong. One time I made it for my family and my grandmother couldn't believe I didn't use eggs haha Also I don't have veg butter so I use any oil I have at home, so far my fave is coconut oil. It's cool to experiment, it always comes out a bit different with different oils!

[@coachsmihari4726]

Tried this cake..so easy to do and we all loved it. I swapped few things( used buckwheat and whole wheat flour, jaggery and oil)

[@StratosFair]

I just tried it, used regular butter instead of vegan and vanilla sugar instead of vanilla extract, it turned out pretty good honestly ! I might try it again with some more baking powder because as other people have said, it was a bit flat. Thanks for the recipe

[@Greggory1987]

I am inspired to try making this cake as a 15 year vegan....your cake looks amazing looks great!

I just made this recipe for my family. It’s delicious. I didn’t have fresh lemon so I used lemon extract. And I used olive oil (for baking) instead of butter. My family loved it. So moist. I did have some lemon juice concentrate for the icing. Thanks for sharing this video.

Made this today. 170 degrees in a fan oven for 30 mins then 180 for 10 mins. Cooked perfectly. A little flat but next time I'll cook it the whole time at 180. Great tasting cake - family all loved it. Going to use this base and just change the flavours for all my cakes - thank you!!!!!!! xx

[@ericaobeirne9087]

I also made this cake but used self-raising flour (plain flour was a huge flat FAIL), the juice and zest of 2 lemons (I didn't measure) and I used 1 cup of icing sugar and the juice of 1 lemon for the icing. It was FAB.

[@TakeAVeg]

Erica O'Beirne hi Erica, you have all the ingredients down in the description box.

[@daniellemorrison5809]

When you use self rising flour should you still use baking soda?

Hi, I am from Asia and I have trouble measure by cups. Is that possible tell me how many g for flour, sugar, butter and plant milk. 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰

[@APlant-bs8sn]

I went to a website and found conversions. Flour-1 1/2 cups = 188g Sugar-1 cup = 200g (granulated) Butter-1/2 cup = 113g Plant milk-3/4 cup = 187g Hope this helps!

[@cirxe1383]

I made this twice. Once a week ago, and once again tonight. The first time, I loved it, my family loved it, and my mom even wanted more. But tonight, I underestimated the frightening bitterness of lemon and went ahead and shredded more than what was recommended. Never again will I try to experiment with lemons like that. When they throw you lemons, make some lemon cake.

[@TakeAVeg]

hahaha :p

I love this recipe! I've made it for my friends a few times and they love it - it comes out moist and flavourful even though I'm not usually a good baker, so that's all thanks to the recipe! I was looking for a vegan recipe because a) I don't like eggs and b) some of my friends are vegan or lactose intolerant. I never expected it to be this delicious,I thought it would just taste like a regular cake, but it's literally the best recipe I've ever used. I've been trying more vegan recipes since I discovered this and who knows, maybe one day I'll go vegan :)

[@abrolia5190]

I made this cake right now... so delicious, amazing recipe. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@Upscent]

Mine is in the oven right now, I made a few tweaks to the recipe just because I wanted to experiment. I made my vegan milk out of oats and coconut and didn't strain it because of the fiber, then I blended a whole lemon. I didn't put zest because our lemons are treated with all sorts of shit and didn't want to risk putting deadly chemicals in my birthday pie. I mixed 3 different flours - corn, rice and wholegrain, and I put just the tiniest bit of flax seed flour to help me thicken the consistency. I also decreased the amount to sugar, and put 4 dates in the blender as I was making my nut milk. And I used cocnut oil because we have no vegan butter here, unfortunately. Smells divine, can't wait to try it. Thank you so much for the recipe, girl!

[@anjaliagrawal3793]

how was it?

[@Upscent]

Divine. The coconut oil complements the lemon incredibly. Although I made it 4 more times since, and it never came out the same since I don't work with concrete measurements.:D Every time it was amazing. One thing to keep in mind is to put enough of baking soda - one time I put very little of it and it didn't bake properly, didn't rise... it was still delicious but it was a bit flat and didn't look very attractive.

[@ariafrost7292]

If you have oats can you grind it and make oat flour, sift it and add tapioca flour to make it fluffy and substitute this instead of flour if you do not have flour

[@Trini02]

[@rackjice2952]

What kind of flour might be best? Seems self-raising may help? I need to try thiss! :)

[@TakeAVeg]

We actually use plain flour because we add the baking powder separately, I think it would work but it might raise differently. Let us know how it turns out :D!
