The use of vegan margarine comes in handy when you want to bake a delicious cake or cupcakes, such as this recipe, with refreshing and sweet lemon. It's an easy vegan recipe to try.
Ingredients:
1 cup of brown sugar
1 cup of vegan margarine
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons of baking powder
3 tablespoons of cornstarch
2 cups almond milk
1 lemon zest
1 cup juice from a lemon
How to Make it:
1. First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lather flour as well as butter onto a pan, or line cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
2. Mix the nut milk with the lemon juice together. Give them a chance to curdle while you mix the sugar with the butter.
3. Now, add the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda as well as the cornstarch to a bowl and mix them.
4. These dry ingredients should be mixed with the almond milk and lemon, as well as the zest, into the butter blend. Mix it well.
5. Place this mixture into the pan or fill cupcake cups 2/3 full and then pop into the oven. If making a traditional cake, allow it to bake for about 45 minutes - take it out when the mixture has become golden-brown. If making cupcakes, check at approximately 28 minutes. Cupcakes are done when a toothpick in the center comes out nearly clean.
