Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond or soy milk)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons The neat Egg (mixed with 4 tablespoons water, according to package instructions)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a square baking pan (8×8 inches) with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable oil, plant-based milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, prepared neat Egg mixture, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be smooth but slightly lumpy.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Dust: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar.
  7. Serve: Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy the light and refreshing flavor of your vegan lemon cake!

This vegan lemon cake, made with The neat Egg, offers a delightful citrusy flavor and a tender crumb, perfect for a simple yet elegant treat. Enjoy it as a sweet snack or a light dessert!
