Vegan lemon cake

Total: 1 hr | Active: 20 min.
vegan, lactose-free

Moist, slightly sweet and naturally, refreshingly lemony, this vegan lemon cake is in no way inferior to the original! In this recipe, the egg has been replaced with baking powder and cider vinegar. Instead of butter, we have used oil, and we have also added plant-based milk to ensure the cake is entirely vegan.
