Ingredients

12 servings

For the cake

2 cans (13.5 oz each) full-fat coconut milk, shaken
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 cups organic cane sugar
½ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
1 tbsp lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt

For the frosting

1 cup vegan butter, softened to room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
3 tbsp full-fat coconut milk
2 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp salt

For serving

½ cup toasted shredded coconut (optional)
Can be omitted
shredded coconut
