Get the Recipe: Vegan Pound Cake
This Vegan pound cake is sweet, moist and delicious! It has a subtle lemon flavor. The 2 ingredient lemon icing is smooth and creamy. This gluten free pound cake is great for breakfast or dessert!
Ingredients
- ½ cup Vegan butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 cup coconut yogurt
- 2 cups gluten free 1 to 1 flour, or all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
Glaze
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add Vegan butter and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until creamy and no clumps of butter remain.
- Then, add in vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest, and coconut yogurt. Stir to combine.
- Add in flour and baking powder. Stir until just barely combined. Do not over mix!
- Add batter to lined loaf pan.
- Bake for 38 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow cake to cool for at least 1 hour before making glaze.
- To make glaze, add lemon juice and powdered sugar to a bowl. Stir until combined. Add more lemon juice for a thinner glaze.
- Remove pound cake from pan. Place on parchment paper on top of wire rack. Drizzle with glaze. Slice and serve!
Notes
- I love Earth Balance Vegan butter sticks for this recipe.
- For this recipe, I used Kite Hill unsweetened coconut yogurt.
- If desired, substitute coconut yogurt with Vegan sour cream.
- The batter will be very thick. Do not over mix! Stir until just barely combined.
- Bake pound cake until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- The glaze is very tangy and lemony. Feel free to substitute lemon juice with dairy free milk for a more neutral flavor.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- This pound cake tends to become more moist the second and third days.
