This bright, citrusy cake gets its tang from plenty of fresh lemon zest and juice, folded into a tender crumb that bakes up golden with just-set edges. Plant-based milk and a touch of apple cider vinegar create the buttermilk-style tang that keeps the texture soft and moist, while a quick pour of sweet, tangy lemon glaze soaks into the warm cake for that signature sticky top. It's a straightforward one-bowl-batter situation, easy enough for a weeknight bake but pretty enough for company. Since the whole recipe skips meat, poultry, and fish entirely, it's a natural fit for a vegetarian table. Slice it into squares while the glaze is still setting for the best gooey-edged bite.
