This lemon poppyseed cake is moist and delicious! It's vegan, can be made gluten free, & sugar-free thanks to purecane 1-1 sugar substitute.
Preheat the oven to 375.
Mix the oat milk, melted vegan butter, lemon juice, purecane or sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla together. Add the lemon extract if desired. Then, add the flour and mix until a batter forms. Be careful not to over-mix or the cake will be dense. Fold in the poppyseeds.
Transfer the batter into a greased 9x5 inch metal loaf pan and bake in the oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the loaf has risen completely and is golden. While the loaf is baking, use a whisk to mix the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and oat milk together to make the frosting.
Allow the cake to cool and then drizzle the frosting over the top. If you used purecane sugar substitute in the batter and frosting, you the cake will be 133 calories per slice.

Posted on: April 13, 2022Hello! I’d love to make this for my husbands birthday cake in a couple of days! Could I double it and fit it in a Bundt loaf or do a bigger cake pan? Do you have any recommendations? Thank you! xx

Posted on: April 13, 2022Hi Sophia, this recipe turns out great in bundt cake form! If you double it, you may need a very large bundt cake pan or do 2 separate cake rounds. Can’t wait to hear how he likes it!

Posted on: April 13, 2022Hi Connie, coconut milk will be delicious in this. I’d recommend using the refrigerated kind rather than the full-fat canned kind.
