- First, preheat your oven to a warm 180°C (360°F). Prepare a cake tin by lightly greasing it.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of a plant-based yogurt alternative and 1 cup of a nut-based milk like almond milk.
- Add in 1/2 cup of a light-tasting oil, such as olive oil, along with the juice and zest from one medium-sized lemon.
- In another bowl, sift together 2 1/2 cups of a flour blend that causes rising (you can use self-raising flour or a mix of plain flour with a teaspoon of baking soda and a 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder).
- Mix in 1 cup of fine sugar into the flour.
- Gradually combine the dry and wet mixtures until they form a consistent batter.
- Pour the batter into your prepared cake tin and bake for 35-40 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick - it should come out clean.
- While the cake cools, prepare the icing by mixing 1 1/2 cups of icing sugar with 3 tablespoons of lemon juice until it reaches a smooth consistency.
- Once the cake is cool, drizzle the icing over the top and garnish with some additional lemon zest.
