Hi everyone.
Welcome back!
Today we will be making lemon loaf cake.
It's a moist, dense cake with full of lemon flavour.
If you are into lemony desserts, you should keep watching.
Let's start.
Start with wet ingredients.
Add 3/4 cup of granulated sugar into a bowl.
One third cup of vegetable oil.
I used sunflower oil.
And nicely zest 2 fresh lemons.
Make sure all goes into a bowl.
Now, squeeze the same two lemons.
Kitchen already smells like a lemon garden.
Add1 teaspoon of vanilla.
I use powdered vanilla, but it is even better to use liquid vanilla extract if you have
it.
And, here is a vegan hack.
Add 1 small bottle of sparkling water.
I don't wanna call it "soda" because it is unsweetened; just plain, sugarless mineral
water.
This bottle is 200 ml, it makes approximately 1 cup.
This will act as also a leavener.
Now, let's start to gently mix.
Do not mix too fast to avoid the bubbles going away too much.
Let's move on with the dry ingredients.
Add 2 cups of all purpose flour.
2 teaspoons of baking powder.
And, a surprise ingredient, 1 teaspoon of turmeric.
As our vegan cake does not have any eggs in it, it will lack a bit of color.
But we will bring a natural yellow colour to it with turmeric.
No need to use food dye.
Now I gently mix all the dry ingredients and sift them onto the wet ones.
Mix just until combined, try to not overmix to not give it a bread like texture.
Again, a beautiful colour.
I love this tone of yellow.
Let's take our cake pan.
Please ignore the scratches.
Oil the mold with vegetable oil.
And, on top of it, I strongly recommend you to place a baking sheet, because this will
a moist cake and it will be difficult to unmold it otherwise.
I
cook it in 350 degrees Fehrenheit or 180 degrees celsius for 45 to 50 minutes.
After you take out the cake, you have to wait until it is completely cold.
Because, it has a very nice and moist texture, and this will settle while cooling.
After the cake has cooled down, we will prepare the drizzle, I mean, the glaze.
I have 1 cup of powdered sugar.
And I add only 1 tablespoon of water.
And when you mix, you get this texture.
We will use it to decorate our cake.
Let's unmold the cake.
As we placed the baking sheet previously, it is very easy to take it out.
I pour our glaze.
Oh.. look at this.
OKAY let's get back to the recipe :)
I pour the glaze in, like, zigzags.
I don't wanna put too much as the cake itself is already sugary.
It is just for the decoration.
Now let's make it prettier, because, I like pretty cakes :) who doesn't?
I sprinkle sliced almonds, lemon zest, totally optional, mandarin zest.
I place a few slices of fresh lemons.
I also sprinkle a bit of poppy seeds because it looks cute.
Now, the favorite part, tasting
So, I got a big slice for me.
A very rich lemon flavour.
It kicks up when you chew it.
It is also very mouth filling.
And look at this colour.
It's also amazing.
I will keep eating this :)
