🍰 Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups plant milk (soy or almond work great)
  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or neutral oil
  • ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Add-ins

  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in 1 tbsp flour to prevent sinking)

Simple Lemon Glaze

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp melted vegan butter (optional for richness)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat + Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans (or line with parchment).

2️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3️⃣ Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine plant milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, oil, and vinegar.
The mixture may lightly curdle — that’s perfect! It creates a fluffy cake.

4️⃣ Combine Wet + Dry

Pour wet ingredients into dry and whisk until just combined.
Gently fold in the flour-coated blueberries.

5️⃣ Bake the Layers

Divide batter evenly between pans.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool completely before glazing/stacking.

6️⃣ Make the Lemon Glaze

Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vegan butter until smooth and pourable.

7️⃣ Assemble & Decorate

Layer the cakes, drizzle glaze over the top, and add extra blueberries + lemon slices for an elegant finish.

🌿 Tips for the Best Vegan Lemon Blueberry Cake

  • Don’t skip the lemon zest — it’s where the real lemon flavor lives!
  • Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer to avoid bleeding.
  • Add a layer of vegan cream cheese frosting if you want a richer cake.
  • Chill before slicing for clean, bakery-style cuts.
