Instrukce
- Preheat the oven to 350°F(180°C). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with oiled parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, prepare the vegan 'buttermilk. Combine soy milk and lemon juice and set aside 10 minutes until the milk curdle.
- In another mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Bring back the bowl with the vegan 'buttermilk' prepared in step 1 and whisk in coconut yogurt, unrefined cane sugar, lemon zest, melted vegan butter, lemon extract, and vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients and combine until smooth and no lumps show. Don't over mix the batter, or the pound cake will be heavy or gummy.
- Transfer the pound cake batter into the loaf pan.
- Bake for 50-65 minutes or until a pick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. You can tent the loaf pan with a large piece of foil after 40 minutes of baking to prevent the top of the pound cake from browning too fast.

Lemon glazing
- When the loaf is at room temperature, prepare the lemon glazing.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir powdered sugar, lemon juice, soy milk, and lemon extract. The glazing must be thick and glossy. If it's too runny to your liking, stir in 1-2 extra tablespoons of powdered sugar.
- Drizzle the lemon glazing on the top of the vegan lemon pound cake.
- Place the pound cake in the fridge for 1 hour to set the glazing.
Skladování
- Store the pound cake in a sealed cake box for up to 5 days in the fridge or freeze the slices in an airtight container and thaw the day before eating.

How To Make Vegan Lemon Pound Cake
This vegan lemon pound cake recipe is a simple vegan cake for beginners. All you have to do is gather simple ingredients and combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. The batter takes just 10 minutes to prepare.
- I love to measure all my ingredients into small bowls before starting a recipe. Even if this lemon pound cake is super easy and straightforward to make, it requires quite a few ingredients. So preparation is the key to avoiding mistakes!
- First, prepare the vegan buttermilk by combining soy milk and lemon juice.
- Set aside for 5 minutes until the milk curdles. This step adds an extra-moist texture to this vegan lemon pound cake.
- In another mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another large mixing, whisk together the vegan buttermilk prepared in step 1 with lemon zest, vanilla extract, lemon extract, melted vegan butter, and sugar.
- Then, pour the dry ingredients, half of it at a time, whisking between each addition to gently incorporate and avoid lumps. Don’t over-whisk the batter, or the pound cake will be dense and gummy.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°c). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch pound cake pan with oiled parchment paper.
- Pour the pound cake batter into the pan and bake on the center rack of the oven for 50-65 minutes.
- After 40 minutes, add a piece of foil on top of the bread to avoid browning the top too fast.
- Insert a pick in the center of the cake to check the baking.
- When the pick comes out clean or with almost no crumb on it, the vegan lemon pound cake is cooked through.
- Remove the lemon loaf from the pan pulling the hanging pieces of parchment paper and transfer onto a cooling rack.
- Cool completely on a cooling rack at room temperature. It takes about 3 hours to reach room temperature, and you must wait that time before glazing or slicing your lemon pound cake.

Making The Lemon Glaze
First, make sure that the lemon pound cake is at room temperature. In fact, adding glazing to a lukewarm cake melts the glazing. It gets absorbed by the batter and won’t set on top of the pound cake.
Next, combine the ingredients below into a small mixing bowl. If your glaze is too runny to your liking, add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Práškový cukr – or powdered erythritol for a sugar-free recipe.
- Čerstvá citronová šťáva
- Sójové mléko or non-dairy milk of choice.
- Citronový extrakt if desired – totally optional, but it enhances the lemon flavor of the glazing.
Use a tablespoon to drizzle the lemon glaze all over the top of the pound cake. If you want thicker glazing, double the recipe. Place the pound cake in the fridge for 1 hour to set the glazing.

Pokyny pro skladování
Vegan baking recipes store very well at room temperature in a sealed container for 3-4 days. Another option is to place the container in the fridge to make it last up to 5 days.
Finally, you can also freeze the lemon pound cake slices and thaw the slice at room temperature the day before serving.
Často kladené dotazy
You can add 1 cup of fresh blueberries to the batter to make a vegan lemon blueberry pound cake.
Blueberry and lemon are the best combos of flavors! But I’d rather use my 4-Ingredients Lemon Cake.
However, to prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the loaf pan, mix them with 1 tablespoon of corn starch before adding them to the batter.

This is an egg-free lemon pound cake recipe, and therefore, it requires starchy flour to keep its shape. It means that you can’t make this recipe using coconut flour or almond flour. Other plant-based flours that you can use to swap wheat flour are:
- Bílá celozrnná pšeničná mouka – Swap with the same amount.
- Špaldová mouka
- Univerzální bezlepková moučná směs containing gum.
- Ovesná mouka – only partially. Swap only 1/2 cup of the regular flour for oat flour.

can i use coconut sugar
Absolutely! The pound cake will simply be darker.
Absolutely delicious! Our guests wanted double helpings. Just add the plant milk to the icing a little at a time as my icing was too wet.
Díky za milou zpětnou vazbu!
Made this cake but it came out kind of dense, not fluffy and cakey like the pictures. Also, the lemon glaze also doesn’t have that super thick white consistency like in the pic. The cake shows through. Did I miss something? Does it need to stay in the oven longer? I’d appreciate any tips. The flavor is nice and I love lemon cake. Thanks!
If it’s dense it means you over mix the ingredients, or the oven temperature was too low and the batter took too long to bake. You can use an oven thermometer to check that our oven calibration is correct, and stir the ingredient less longer. The icing can be adjusted, if it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar, if too thick add a splash more milk. It depends on how you like yours. I hope it gets even better next time.
