We loved it. Made exactly as written and couldn't be happier. I did make a lemon glaze to top it, which added another lemon kick, but it was great without the glaze too. My husband wanted a lemon pound cake, and this came up when searching for a vegan version. I'm glad it did. Thanks for sharing!

This was my first vegan cake; so easy and soooo delicious. Christmas Eve dinner dessert, daughter is non-dairy, and BIL is no egg and no fruit/sugar combo. I used palm sugar (BIL can have this) instead of cane sugar (left a slice sans powdered sugar for him), and soy milk. Everyone loved it! Great lemon flavor and perfect amount of sweetness, not over the top. Raspberries went really well with it. I think this will be our new Christmas Eve dessert! Thank you for creating/sharing this delicious recipe!

My niece is Vegan, so I made this for her for Thanksgiving, but it didn't have any unusual ingredients, so everyone enjoyed it. It is very light and flavorful.

This is my absolute favorite dessert recipe! I have made it for several family and friend functions, and it is a huge hit each time! I typically use unsweetened vanilla almond or coconut milk, and both worked great! This recipe is also very easy to follow, which is super helpful. Highly recommend!!

This recipe (with some modifications) was a hit! I used abt 5/6 c of sugar and maybe 1.5 tbs of lemon juice and 1.5 tbs zest. Then I soaked it with a (quickly made) rosemary infused lemon syrup. OMG!! Folks were pining for more! Tasted just like what my mama used to make but vegan and with rosemary. Will def recommend AND use this recipe again.

This has become my go to cake. I’m a vegan, but it is loved by my non-vegan friends too. This morning I was baking this cake for a friend’s anniversary (because it is her husband’s favorite cake) and I realized I had never left a review. Thank you for this recipe! It has definitely brought a lot of joy and smiles 😋

This is a great vegan cake recipe! I used apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice. Also, I added cardamom and ginger and it makes it the most wonderfully fragrant and not-to-sweet dessert.

What other olive oil brands would you recommend for baking?

This cake was rich, tender and flavorful! I added blueberries to make it even more summery and it was super good. Next time I might add more lemon juice or zest for even more flavor but it was extremely good as is!

I am in awe. I love baking and turned vegan about a year ago. Since turning vegan, my carnivorous partner has not liked anything I have baked. WELL, today I made this for friends and my partner loved this cake along with our friends. I just want to say thank you for restoring my faith in my ability to bake. PS-we only had olive oil and it worked well! Will definitely try extra virgin when we have it in.

I made this yesterday. SUPER EASY!!!

I used 2 small fresh lemons for the juice and it really needed more so next time I will use more lemons as I would like the tang against the olive oil for a nice balance.

I used a silicone muffin pan, as I don't bake cakes. I also have a convection oven. Set at 350, and baked for 20 minutes. They can out PERFECTLY! They were so light and fluffy, and had a wonderful aroma.

So glad I found this. It's a keeper for me.

Hii! I see you have the nutrition facts at the end. Is this per slice?
