Vegan Lemon Drizzle Cake

Lemon cake is a favourite amongst the EcoSoc committee, and as there are a few vegans in our ranks, this recipe comes in very handy! It's super easy too.

Time: 40-50 minutes
Serves: ~12

Ingredients:

• 275g self-raising flour
• 200g caster sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 zest & juice of lemon
• 100ml vegetable oil
• 170ml cold water
• 150g icing sugar

Recipe:

1. Put flour, baking powder, sugar and zest into a bowl and mix well before adding the oil, juice and the water.
2. Mix thoroughly to make sure all is combined well.
3. Pour into a lined cake tin and bake for 30 minutes until fully cooked at around 200°C. 
4. When cool it’s definitely worth making a glaze for the top, this is done by sieving the icing sugar and stirring in lemon juice until the consistency is wet enough to pour over the cake.
