How to Prepare Lemon Poppy Seed Cake [Vegan]

To Make the Cake:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Generously grease pan with vegetable shorting and then dust with flour. Be sure to get in all the edges and crevices.
  3. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients together.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients together.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  6. Pour into pan. Fill 3/4 of the way full.
  7. Tap pan on the counter to release any air and fill all creases.
  8. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  9. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  10. Turn cake over onto a cake plate.
  11. Wait until cool before adding the glaze.
  12. Garnish with fresh blackberries.

To Make the Glaze:

  1. Whisk together sugar, lemon juice, and salt.
  2. Slowly add in non-dairy milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until frosting is thick and creamy.
  3. Frosting should be really thick like molasses.
  4. Using the whisk or spoon, drop over the top of cake. It should slowly pour over the sides.
  5. Let rest and frosting will harden.

Notes

When it comes to getting your bundt cake to come out of the pan beautifully without sticking, I have found the best luck with generously greasing pan with vegetable shorting, then dusting with flour. Try to get both in all corners and creases of the pan. I then wait 10 minutes after baking to invert onto a cake plate.

  1. I greased and dusted with flour, waited the 10 minutes before turning it over but when I turned it over it fell apart :( I am a far cry away from an experienced baker. Why did it do that? Should I have let it cool longer than 10 minutes?
