Ingredients

Cake

  • 100 ml Vegetable Oil
  • 400 ml Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1 Lemon, grated + Juice
  • 50 g Desiccated Coconut
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 250 g Castor Sugar
  • 400 g Self-Raising Flour sieved

Icing Drizzle

  • 100 g Icing Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • Lemon Zest/ Sliced Lemon to garnish
  • Desiccated Coconut  

Instructions

  1. Preheat fan oven to 160 degrees

  2. Grease and line an 8 inch cake tin and set aside

  3. In a mixing bowl mix all the dry ingredients - flour, sugar, baking powder, coconut and lemon zest

  4. In a large jug whisk together the milk, oil and lemon juice

  5. Using a whisk slowly pour the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients to create a cake batter and then use a spatula to scrap down the side to ensure everything is mixed together well

  6. Carefully pour the batter into the cake tin

  7. Place on the bottom shelf of the oven and cook for around 50 minutes - test by using a skewer to carefully poke the centre of the cake and if the skewer comes out clean it's done, if the mixture sticks then leave for a further 3-5 minutes and repeat until skewer comes out clean

  8. Once cooked, carefully remove from the oven and leave in the tin to cool (the cake will fall apart if it's too hot) transfer to a cool rack to cool completely

  9. In a bowl mix the icing sugar and lemon juice until smooth and using a teaspoon or icing bag drizzle over the cake. Sprinkle over the desiccated coconut and lemon zest and enjoy

  10. Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
