Vegan Lemon Almond Cake Recipe

Vegan baking may have a reputation for its challenging nature, but with a little help from Coletta, you’ll find making your very own vegan desserts a breeze! Start with this vegan lemon almond cake recipe to bring your next tea party or a relaxed evening to the next level.

Ingredients

4 cups of almond flour
1 cup of oat milk
3/4 cup of olive oil
7 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
1 cup of coconut sugar
3 tablespoons of cornstarch

2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon of almond extract
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1 handful of roasted, sliced almonds

Instructions

Begin this dish by preparing the cooking area. Grease a 9-inch, round baking pan and preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine the almond flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients together.
In another mixing bowl, combine the oat milk, olive oil, lemon juice, coconut sugar, almond extract, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until the sugar dissolves within the liquid.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients quickly. Fold them together until you can’t see any dry ingredients, scraping the bottom to be sure all the elements of this dish are fully combined. Because over-mixing can affect the cake’s texture, be careful not to stir the batter any longer than necessary.
Pour the cake batter into the pan and gently tap it against the counter to level it off. Place the pan on the middle shelf of the preheated oven. Cook the cake for around 50 minutes. You’ll know the cake is ready when the surface is an even, golden color and a toothpick inserted into the center comes away clean.
Allow the cake to cook completely. Only when the cake is cooled can you carefully remove it from the pan without risking the loss of the moist, spongey texture.
From here, top the cake as desired! Though a handful of sliced, roasted almonds is a must, there are plenty of ways to make this dish your own. A few slices of fresh lemon and a sprinkling of powdered sugar are the perfect finish to this gorgeous, delicious lemon almond cake.
