6 tbsp water

For the cake

1 ¾ 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.
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup vegan butter, softened
1 cup organic cane sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
2 tbsp lemon zest (from about 3 lemons)
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup plant-based milk

For the glaze

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
2–3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

1
Stir together the ground flaxseed and 6 tbsp water in a small bowl until combined, then set aside for 10 minutes until thickened and gel-like.
2
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the two long sides.
