Vegan Lemon Olive Oil Cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan liberally. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, ground flaxseed, almond milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the olive oil mixture until combined and no almond flour streaks remain.

Step 4

Transfer to the greased cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until middle is set and springs back when lightly touched or when a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Step 5

Prepare the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and almond milk until smooth. When the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and serve.
