How can I ensure my lemon cake bakes in 20 minutes?

To achieve the 20-minute bake time, preheat your oven to 350 degreesF and use a circular cake pan. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

What is the role of ground flax in this vegan lemon cake?

Ground flax acts as an egg replacer in this recipe, helping to bind the ingredients together and contribute to the cake's moist texture without using animal products.

Can I use a different plant milk instead of soy milk for the cake?

While soy milk is specified for its protein content and consistency, other plant milks like almond or oat milk may be used, though they might slightly alter the final texture of the cake.

How do I make the lemon icing smooth and creamy?

For a smooth and creamy lemon icing, combine all the icing ingredients-vegan butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and soy milk-and mix them thoroughly using either a hand or stand mixer.

Is it important for the cake to cool completely before icing?

Yes, it is crucial to let the cake cool completely before applying the icing. If the cake is warm, the vegan butter in the icing will melt, causing the icing to slide off rather than set properly.
