This Super Moist Vegan Lemon Bundt Cake is everything you need this Spring and Summer! This recipe is adapted from my famous Vegan Lemon Loaf Cake and just like that recipe, this one is going to be a true crowed pleasure. It's moist, lightly lemony, super tender and fluffy, and no one will ever believe you when you tell them that it's vegan, gluten-free friendly and can even be made without any added sugar (thanks to our sponsor, purecane)!!
Vegan Lemon Bundt Cake Ingredients
- Lemon: Freshly squeezed lemon juice or bottled lemon juice will both work in this delicious vegan lemon bundt cake.
- Sugar: You can use either regular organic cane sugar, white table sugar, or reduce the sugar and use purecane sugar-free substitute.
- Butter: To keep this lemon bundt cake vegan, we use vegan butter. If you are not vegan or dairy-free, you can use regular butter.
- Milk: To keep this moist lemon pound cake vegan, we use unsweetened almond or oat milk. If you are not vegan or dairy-free, feel free to use regular milk.
- Baking Powder and Baking Soda: To give our vegan lemon cake a lift without the need of eggs or an egg replacement.
- Vanilla Extract: For a yummy bundt cake flavor!
- Lemon Extract: This ingredient is optional but can be used for an extra boost of lemon in this vegan lemon bundt cake.
- Flour: We recommend using regular all purpose flour or gluten-free all purpose flour in this recipe. Our preferred gluten-free flour is King Arthur Measure for Measure.

Step 1: Add the powdered sugar, softened vegan butter, and vegan cream cheese to a medium sized mixing bowl.
