Lemon Drizzle Cake

by Edward Daniel

Lemon Drizzle Cake made with unrefined sugar came about because I wanted to create my own version. Admittedly, this cake took several attempts before I got what I wanted right and the texture too. The trick here is not overcook the cake. I used unrefined sugar having moved away from caster some years ago.

What to do next

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.

Ingredients

  • 150ml olive oil
  • 100ml coconut oil, melted
  • 200g unrefined raw coconut sugar
  • 1 lemon juice and zest
  • 400g flour
  • 100ml filtered water
  • 4tbs flaxseeds, ground
  • 2tbs bicarbonate of soda
  • 2tbs cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius, or if convection oven to 160 degrees.
  2. Line a cake tin with olive oil. Place baking paper so that it covers the bottom and sides.
  3. In a food mixer combine the oils with the sugar. Add the flour, water, flaxseeds and lemon zest. Continue whizzing.
  4. Add the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. The batter should start to fizz.
  5. Transfer the batter to the cake tin. Cover the top with aluminium foil. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes. You want to ensure that the cake remains moist and do not worry if the skewer does not come out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven. Prick the cake with a cocktail stick all over. Drizzle on the lemon and allow to stand for about 20 minutes before cutting.
  7. Serve with vegan cream or ice cream.
