How to Make a Vegan Gluten Free Lemon Blueberry Cake?

Ingredients

  • Gluten Free All Purpose Flour- Make sure to sift your flour to make sure there are no lumps in the dough. (Also made with regular all-purpose flour if you are gluten tolerant
  • Add baking soda to vinegar to help soften the cake and make it rise without eggs..
  • Salt - Brings out the sweetness.
  • Sugar - Preferably organic cane sugar (or white sugar, brown sugar, coconut sugar)
  • Organic lemon juice For a good lemony tasteé
  • Organic lemon zest to enhance the lemon flavor
  • Vinegar - Use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • Lemon infused olive oil (or a neutral olive oil, but even tastier with lemon infused oil.
  • Plant-based drink - Mix everything together. I use an almond drink, but you can substitute whatever you prefer, or even milk and even water.
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw.

How to keep blueberries from sinking into the cake

To prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the cake, lightly mix your blueberries in flour before adding them to the mixture.

Tips for making the best cake

  • Try to use fresh blueberries rather than frozen, as this will ensure the cake is evenly baked. If you can only use frozen products, do not thaw them first.
  • The make and model of the oven can affect the baking time of the cake. Baking this cake should take about 35-40 minutes, but check the doneness on the one hand after 30 minutes, (if it still looks soft in the center, leave the oven closed) and then with a toothpick until it comes out clean.
  • This makes one cake. I like the loaf pan size, but also makes a nice round cake in an 8 inch pan. For a two-tiered cake, double the ingredients. For a three-tiered cake, triple the ingredients.s.
  • Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to thevanilla frosting to add a lemon flavor.
