Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F (177 °C)
- Grease a 9×5 loaf pan with vegan butter or shortening. Line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on 2 sides to pull the loaf out easily once baked)
- Using a mesh seive, sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add sugar, almond milk, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and the pure vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients from the other bowl, mixing gently until fully incorporated. Do not over mix. If there are any lumps, let it sit for a few seconds, and then re-stir gently, but there could still be a few small lumps. This is ok.
- Pour mixture into prepared loaf pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes. Remove from oven, and tent with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes to avoid over-browning.
- Return to oven, and bake for an additional 10 minutes (or until a toothpick or wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean)
- Place on a wire rack to cool for at least 15 minutes.
- Using the parchment paper overhang, pull from the pan, and set on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once it’s cooled, prepare the Lemon Glaze. Using a clean, and dry, medium bowl, mix the confectioner’s sugar, lemon zest, and 1/2 of the lemon juice. Add more lemon juice a little at a time until it is a thick but pourable consistency, not too thin. If it’s too thin, add more confectioner’s sugar.
- Drizzle the glaze over the top, carefully coating it from edge to edge, and letting a little drip over the edges, and then let it set. The glaze should be dry to the touch, but still soft.
- Using a sharp knife, cut into 10 – 12 slices. (or 8 if you love thicker slices, of course!)
- Enjoy and Bon Appetit!
