The Easiest Vegan Lemon Pound Cake Questa ricetta è disponibile anche in italiano
This easy vegan lemon pound cake is soft, silky, light, fluffy and aromatic, with an irresistible lemony aftertaste.
I’ve been baking a lot lately, especially Christmas cookies. The other day I made two batches of these Italian Almond Cookies, and the day before I also make these Greek Cookies and Castagnelle, all to be enjoyed during the holidays.
And if you are familiar with the recipes, or you just have checked them, you might have noticed that all of these cookies call for a good amount of lemon peel.
That means I’ve got TONS of poor naked lemons to use up.
And what’s better way than baking a lemony and flavourful pound cake?
This is my true and tested recipe I’ve been using since turning vegan. It’s such a comforting treat that we like to enjoy in the morning with a frosty cappuccino or to accompany a cup of tea in the afternoon.
The sponge is so light, fluffy and aromatic. Indeed a nice cuddle for our palate and souls.
I like topping it simply with some vanilla flavoured icing sugar, but you can go wild and finish it with any icing of toppings of your choice, like the one I made for this Zesty Lemon Cake, for example.
This vegan lemon pound cake also makes a good base for birthday cakes, tiramisù or trifles. I’m sure you’ll all be amazed on how versatile this is!
