95ml Vegetable oil
Zest of 2 lemon
225g Plain flour
115g Caster sugar
1 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Baking soda
Pinch of salt
2 tsp Lemon extract
3 tbsp Poppy seeds
Juice of 2 lemons
Glaze
170g Icing sugar
2-3tbsp hot water from the kettle
1tsp Lemon extract
Method
✿Preheat your oven to 180℃ and line a loaf pan with baking paper.✿Mix together the soya milk and ACV and set aside. In a large bowl sift in the flour and baking powder/soda. Then add the sugar, salt and poppy seeds and combine with a wooden spoon.
✿In a separate bowl mix together the milk, oil, lemon juice, zest and lemon extract.
✿Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
✿Pour into your loaf pan and bake first for 25 minutes then check and cover with foil so as to not burn the top. Bake for another 10 minutes then insert with a knife and if it comes out clean it's cooked.
✿To make the glaze, boil the kettle., let it stand for a minute or so and then mix 2tbsp and the lemon extract with the icing sugar, stirring till you have a nice smooth icing. If it is too thin and runny add more sugar, if it is too thick and you can't stir, add a small drop of water.
✿Spoon the icing on the cake once it is cooled. I topped mine with more poppy seeds too. Enjoy!
