Easy Vegan Lemon Cake (6 Ingredients!)

1 ¾ cups (224g) regular white all-purpose flour (this flour is crucial to this cake) SEE NOTES BELOW for GF

¾ cup + 2 tablespoons (170g) fine granulated white sugar (SEE NOTES)

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon fine salt

¾ cup + 2 tablespoons (210g) ROOM TEMPERATURE full-fat coconut milk (THIS cannot be subbed, it replaces all oil/butter and is what makes the cake light and moist, it leaves NO coconut taste) I like Thai Kitchen and Taste of Thai brands, both work great here. DO NOT use the Polar brand, it is all stabilizers and additives and not pure coconut milk.

2 ½ tablespoons (37g) fresh lemon juice PLUS the zest of a lemon

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

subheading: LEMON GLAZE:

1 cup (152g) powdered sugar

1 tablespoon (15g) fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon (15g) non-dairy yogurt (plain or vanilla) This gives a nice tang, but if you don't have it, add ½ tablespoon of any creamy milk instead.

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

subheading: NOTE:

I always recommend to use a scale for accuracy when baking, following MY gram weights listed, since we all measure differently. This greatly improves your chance for success and lessons room for error. You never need cups or to compare them to the weights, just use the scale and bowl and make sure to zero out in between each ingredient. My recipes are 100% tested specifically using my exact weights and your results will turn out as mine are pictured this way. SEE NOTES at bottom if you don't have a scale.
