In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and oat flour. Stir until the mixture forms a dough. If you’re using maple syrup, you may need to adjust the flour slightly to get the right consistency.

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Flatten each dough ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern on top of each cookie.

Vegan Lemon Cake is dairy-free cake which bursts with natural lemon flavor. It is a perfect option for anyone searching for healthy vegan cakes as this plant-based lemon cake is delicious and easy to make.  Perfect for vegans, gluten-free diets, or anyone seeking a healthier dessert, this cake is ideal for celebrations, tea time, or a sweet treat any day.

Ingredients

For the lemon cake:

1 cup of unsweetened almond milk

1 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup aquafaba liquid from a can of chickpeas

7 tablespoons (1/2 cup) vegan butter, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup neutral flavored oil, such as vegetable or grapeseed

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest

1/2 tablespoon pure lemon extract

1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

3 cups cake flour

1/2 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon yellow food coloring, optional

For the frosting:

1/2 cup vegan butter, softened to room temperature

3 cups powdered sugar

1 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoons non-dairy milk

1/2 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 6 inch cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment rounds (I cut them out myself to fit the bottom of the pans to prevent sticking.)

Vegan buttermilk: In a measuring cup, combine the soy milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit a few minutes until it curdles.

Aquafaba: In a medium sized bowl, drain the chickpeas to collect the liquid from the can. (Rinse the chickpeas and refrigerate for another use.) Measure 1/2 cup of aquafaba. With a hand mixer, mix on medium-high speed for 1 minute, until light and foamy. Set aside.

In a large bowl, add the softened butter, oil, sugar and lemon zest. Beat on medium speed with the handheld mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Now add in the lemon and vanilla extracts and beat to combine. If using the yellow food coloring, add it in now as well.

On low speed, add in the vegan buttermilk and aquafaba and mix. Now add the flour, sprinkle the baking powder and salt on top of the flour and mix on low until well combined, about 1-2 minutes, scraping the sides as needed with a spatula. Do not over mix.

Divide the batter equally in the prepared pans. Bake for 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool on wire racks for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen, and carefully invert the cakes onto your hand. Remove the parchment paper and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the frosting: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the vegan butter until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Reduce the speed, add in the 2 cups of the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract. Beat on low, then switch to medium speed and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Now add in the remaining 2 cups powdered sugar and mix. If the frosting seems too thick, add a tablespoon at a time of non-dairy milk. If the frosting seems too thin, add more powdered sugar until a desirable consistency is reached.

Frost the cake: Place one of the cake layers on your cake stand or plate. Frost the top evenly. Place the second cake layer on top. Top the second layer with more frosting, and frost the sides as well. Decorate as desired and serve!

Notes:

Aquafaba is the liquid in a can of chickpeas. Simply drain the chickpeas over a bowl and collect the liquid.

Cake flour is wonderful here if you can find it. The cake will come out fluffier with a fine crumb, but all purpose works if you don’t have access to cake flour. Gluten free all purpose flour works quite well, too.

Store leftover cake at room temperature for 3-4 days and make sure to cover any cut parts. Or keep it in the refrigerator for 1 week. It freezes perfectly as well.

Cupcakes – Divide into liners and bake for 20-24 minutes.

Consider adding a layer of vegan lemon curd to the middle, if desired.
