Instructions
Vegan Lemon Round Cake
- Preheat oven to 350. Grease two 8-inch or three 6-inch metal round pans with non-stick spray.
- Mix (by hand) the almond milk, sugar, lemon juice, melted vegan butter, and vanilla. Option to add 1 teaspoon lemon extract for a bolder lemon flavor. Add the baking powder and baking soda and mix. The mixture will begin to bubble, this is ok. Quickly add the flour and mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the baking pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cake has risen through the center and is golden on top.
- While the lemon cakes are baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix the vegan cream cheese icing ingredients. Set aside.
- Remove the cakes from the pans and allow the cakes to cool completely on a wire rack. Frost and enjoy!
