Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients
- 260 g flourâ
- 40 g cornstarchâ
- 200 g sugarâ
- 1 pinch of saltâ
- a few drops of Vanilla extractâ
- 1 pkg baking powderâ
- 250 ml non-dairy milk
- 100 g vegetable oilâ
- 2-3 lemons (zest and 2 x 50ml juiceâ )
- 50 g sugarâ
Instructions
- Start with mixing vanilla extract, oil, non-dairy milk, 50ml of lemon juice and the zest.
- Then combine all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Now pour the flour mixture and stir until well incorporated. But make sure not to overmix it to prevent the cake becoming dense.
- Put the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for about 40 minutes at 180°C (350F).
- Meanwhile put into a small pot 50ml lemon juice and 50g sugar and bring to boil. Then set aside and chill at room temperature while waiting for the cake to be ready.
- When the cake is ready (when toothpick or skewer comes out clean it is perfect), take it out of the oven, and prick the cake to the ground along the whole surface. Don´t forget the edges. Then take the lemon sirup and pour it gently on the cake. The sirup will go into the holes and create this extra soft texture and lemony flavor.
Notes
You can also use vanilla flavored plant milk. This can likewise be out of oats or soy beans or whatever you prefer.
When mixing all ingredients together, make sure not to overmix it. Else the cake will become dense afterwards.
If you prefer, stir together powdered sugar and lemon juice for a lemon glaze to put on top. We think even simple and plain you will be tempted for another piece.
