Lemony Delight: Vegan Lemon Cake with Poppy Seeds

in Plant Power (Vegan)2 years ago (edited)

Lemon cake is a classic dessert that is loved by many, and for a good reason. The sweet and tangy flavor of the lemon pairs perfectly with the moist and fluffy texture of the cake. This one is also very simple to prepare!

<p dir="auto">The cake is light, moist, and bursting with lemony flavor, with the added texture and crunch of poppy seeds. This cake is a great option for those who are looking for a vegan and plant-based dessert that is both delicious and simple. <p dir="auto">The lemon cake is made with simple and wholesome ingredients, such as flour, sugar, baking powder, and lemon juice. To make it vegan, dairy products such as milk are replaced with plant-based alternatives. The poppy seeds are added to the batter, which gives the cake a unique texture and nutty flavor.<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmcZAezcLgotk61ugu2Lc9EjwrKT4N538mufBpg2vpiLek/dsc07601.jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmcZAezcLgotk61ugu2Lc9EjwrKT4N538mufBpg2vpiLek/dsc07601.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmcZAezcLgotk61ugu2Lc9EjwrKT4N538mufBpg2vpiLek/dsc07601.jpg 2x" /> <p dir="auto">The cake is easy to make and can be prepared in just a few simple steps. First, the dry ingredients are mixed together in a bowl, and then the wet ingredients are added and whisked until the batter is smooth. The batter is then poured into a baking dish and baked in the oven until golden and fragrant. Once the cake is cooled, it can be topped with a simple glaze made with lemon juice and powdered sugar, which adds a sweet and tangy finish to the cake. Or simply dust it with some powdered sugar as I did!<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmbw1SUXqvdJtCNhJ6bxSHTkHQAbvPrfpmkhmeiMthwURc/citrin_pyragas_su_aguonomis_2_.jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmbw1SUXqvdJtCNhJ6bxSHTkHQAbvPrfpmkhmeiMthwURc/citrin_pyragas_su_aguonomis_2_.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmbw1SUXqvdJtCNhJ6bxSHTkHQAbvPrfpmkhmeiMthwURc/citrin_pyragas_su_aguonomis_2_.jpg 2x" /> <p dir="auto">This vegan lemon cake with poppy seeds is a perfect dessert for any occasion, whether it's a birthday party, family gathering, or just a sweet treat for yourself. The combination of lemon and poppy seeds creates a unique and delicious flavor that is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.<br /> <center><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmWLKhJU9gwzg3U9WYAzVxb9mnY3HdywXwY2JKNPkakSpU/underlinesmall.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmWLKhJU9gwzg3U9WYAzVxb9mnY3HdywXwY2JKNPkakSpU/underlinesmall.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmWLKhJU9gwzg3U9WYAzVxb9mnY3HdywXwY2JKNPkakSpU/underlinesmall.png 2x" /> <p dir="auto"><strong>You will need:<br /> <code>This recipe uses a 17cm diameter round baking tray (with removable edges)<br /> • 200 g. wheat flour<br /> • 120 g. sugar<br /> • 50 ml. coconut oil<br /> • 200 ml. plant-based milk (sweetened oat milk is used in the recipe)<br /> • 70 ml. freshly squeezed lemon juice<br /> • 1 tablespoon of grated lemon peel<br /> • 2 teaspoons of baking powder<br /> • ¼ teaspoon of salt<br /> • 2 teaspoons of poppy seeds<br /> • 1 teaspoon of ground cloves<br /> • Powdered sugar for dusting<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQma3HQPCtEJWoQaYXc8W69RzzToC3QuY4DzC7tCrYyoGM5/dsc07426.jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQma3HQPCtEJWoQaYXc8W69RzzToC3QuY4DzC7tCrYyoGM5/dsc07426.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQma3HQPCtEJWoQaYXc8W69RzzToC3QuY4DzC7tCrYyoGM5/dsc07426.jpg 2x" /> <p dir="auto"><strong>Preparation <ol> <li>Heat the oven to 180°C. <li>Grate about 1 tablespoon of lemon peel.<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmSMfEoXjkkrFR4BTsmZPwWrJh7P58acuXMKi2U1eEeRX1/dsc07437.jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmSMfEoXjkkrFR4BTsmZPwWrJh7P58acuXMKi2U1eEeRX1/dsc07437.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmSMfEoXjkkrFR4BTsmZPwWrJh7P58acuXMKi2U1eEeRX1/dsc07437.jpg 2x" /> <li>Make fresh lemon juice from about 1,5 lemons (70 ml.)<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmYgGPzLPJ4FTqLEjYXYBzvjub7crvcPE2ifb5kFKtELZi/dsc07439.jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmYgGPzLPJ4FTqLEjYXYBzvjub7crvcPE2ifb5kFKtELZi/dsc07439.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://images.ecency.com/DQmYgGPzLPJ4FTqLEjYXYBzvjub7crvcPE2ifb5kFKtELZi/dsc07439.jpg 2x" /> <li>Mix dry ingredients - flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cloves, poppy seeds, salt.

Looks so tasty ...😋

So lovely a good combination@ @plantasticka . I love cakes a lot and likes drinking hot green tea ginger flavoured with it. It serves me as breakfast ❤. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!! 💛

Lemon cake it's really yummi I love it with milk

That would be an interesting combination.
Why did I never think of it before ?
I have been pairing up with all kind of things like syrups and ice cream but never with milk

That is a nice idea, thank you!

I cannot say no to a cake maybe because I am a foodie at heart and when the flavor is lemon it becomes even more irresistible.
Pair is with ice cream and it becomes a bigger treat.
So this goes into my to do list of things to cook. Thanks for the easy to understand recipe.

Great to know you love cakes. But this is just one thing that seems so hard for me to try - baking.

Maybe when @plantasticka starts sharing tips as microblogs on threads, it could be easier to learn.

Thank you very much!

Good day @plantasticka

Happy Saturday. I'll give you a tip. If you look at the Foodies Bee Hive community rules, we recently added two new ones: No cross-posting and the other is that the user must be in photos making their recipes; so please avoid cross-posting your posts on Foodies Bee Hive. These rules also apply to this vegan community. Thank you.

Thank you for letting me know!
