Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup ground almonds
  • 1 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 cup vanilla-flavored coconut or soy yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F. In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients. 
  • Melt the vegan butter in a small pot. Add it to the dry ingredients together with the olive oil and the apple cider vinegar. 
  • Zest and juice the lemon. Add it to the batter and stir well until you have got a smooth batter. 
  • Add the blueberries. 
  • Carefully fold in. 
  • Grease the bundt pan with vegan butter and lightly dust it with flour. 
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan. 
  • Bake for 40 minutes. Use a toothpick to check if the cake is ready. Leave in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Lightly dust with powdered sugar before serving it. 

Notes

  • I like to use a bundt pan for this recipe but it also works great with a loaf pan. 
  • I simply dusted the cake with a bit of powdered sugar. But you could also top it off with an easy lemon glaze if you want. Just combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of water and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest and stir well. If the frosting seems to be too runny, just add a bit more powdered sugar until you reach the right consistency.
