When I was growing up, every time we visited my grandparents there was a lemon cake waiting for us. Everyone loved my grans lemon cake and couldn't get enough! No one loved it more than my dad!
So obviously this vegan lemon cake will not compare to my grans cake but it is a close second!
I would definetly recommend this recipe!
I made this with plain flour, which is the one in the picture. Seeing how flat it came out, I would recommend making it with self raising flour. It's the only thing about this cake I wasn't extremly happy with!
I will re make this vegan lemon cake with self raising flour when I get the chance, and I will upload a new photo for you all to see!
It came out super tasty, soft and moist! Everyone loved it!
This cake is quite easy to make! I made the recipe super easy to follow and there will soon be a youtube video that you can watch to see how I made this recipe for a little extra help!
I will load the youtube video as soon as I can!

I hope you all enjoy this vegan lemon cake as much as we did!

Flaxseed Egg;

6 tbsp Aquafaba - This is the water or brine that chickpeas are kept in, in the tins.
Cake;
2 tsp Lemon Zest
1 ½ Cup Self Raising Flour
½ Cup Caster Sugar
1 ½ tsp Baking Powder

½ Cup Butter (Creamed) - I use Pure but any butter will work.
Mix the butter with a spoon to cream it. This makes it smoother.
