Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
- ¾ cups of granulated sugar (depending on your sweet tooth)
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of white or apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon of canola or vegetable oil
- 1 cup of water
- 1 ½ tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 ½ tablespoons of lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a bread load pan.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer (or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer), mix together all the ingredients until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the pan.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Test by sticking a toothpick in the middle. If the toothpick comes out dry, the loaf is done.

Notes
- parchment paper
- Don’t overmix the batter: If you overwork the gluten, it can lead to dense and un-risen eggless lemon cake.
- For easier cake removal: It can be a good idea to line the loaf pan with parchment paper. Leave two flaps over the edges (to pull on after baking for easy cake release).
- Make sure the loaf is completely cool before glazing: Otherwise, you’ll melt the glaze, and it will run down the sides of the cake and soak into the cake like a syrup (which tastes delicious but affects the moisture and doesn’t have the correct ‘look’).
