  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 ¼ cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.

  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice

How To Make Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

  • 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 poppy seeds.
  • 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.
