Instructions

Make the Vegan Lemon Bundt Cake

Preheat oven to 350* F. Prepare a 10-12 cup bundt pan by greasing it liberally with vegetable shortening and dusting it with flour.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
2 ⅔ Cups All-Purpose Flour, 2 ½ tsp Baking Powder, ¼ tsp Baking Soda, ¼ tsp Kosher Salt
In a large bowl, combine sugar, non-dairy milk, melted vegan butter, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Then, add the dry ingredients and whisk to form the batter.
1 ½ Cups Sugar, 1 ½ Cups Non-Dairy Milk, 12 Tbsp Vegan Butter, melted, 2 Tbsp Lemon Zest, lightly packed, 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice, 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan and use a spatula to even the top out. Bake in a 350* F oven for 43-47 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for about 45 minutes, then gently flip it onto a cake stand or cake plate to continue cooling.

Make the Glaze and Finish the Cake

Combine powdered sugar and 5 teaspoons of lemon juice and whisk until well combined. If you want the glaze to be a bit runnier, add the last teaspoon of lemon juice and mix until combined.
1 Cup Powdered Sugar, sifted, 5-6 tsp Lemon Juice
Use a spoon to drizzle the lemon glaze over the cake. Serve!

Notes

To flip the cake out of the bundt pan, first place a serving platter or cake stand upside down on top of the bundt pan.

Then, gently turn everything upside down and allow the cake to turn out onto the platter.
