Instructions
Method (cake)
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees c and line a loaf tin with a liner or greaseproof paper.
- In a bowl large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, caster sugar and lemon zest.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oil, water and lemon juice.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry and mix until combined, then pour evenly into the lined tin.

- Place the loaf on a cooling rack and allow to cool fully before frosting.

- Add the dairy-free butter and cream cheese into a large bowl and cream together. I use my stand mixer with the balloon whisk attachment.
- Add in the icing sugar and vanilla extract then beat together until light and fluffy.
- Spoon the frosting on top of the lemon loaf and even out with a spoon or spatula.
- Serve with a sprinkling of lemon zest (optional) Serve fresh and store in a sealed container in the fridge.
