Lemon Drizzle Cake

This vegan lemon drizzle is such a delicious twist on the classic recipe everyone knows and loves! The addition of fresh lemon juice and zest means it is so refreshing and the use of ground almonds in the sponge makes it perfectly moist. We love ours with a generous dollop of our favourite vanilla coconut yoghurt and some extra lemon zest before serving it warm straight from the oven.

method
  • Makes 8 portions.

  • Turn your oven on to 180 degrees Celsius.

  • Put cashew butter, coconut milk, maple syrup and coconut oil in a pan and heat up on a low heat until the oil is melted. Whisk until everything is combined and take it off the heat.

  • Add the lemon zest and juice and mix again.

  • Add the ground almonds, buckwheat flour, coconut sugar and salt and mix everything until you have a batter.

  • Pour your batter into a lined tin (20 cm x 10 cm) and bake for 25 minutes.

  • When your cake is out of the oven mix the maple syrup and lemon juice and drizzle it over the cake while it’s still warm. It will soak in and make it even more moist than it already is. Enjoy the cake hot or cold.
