Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 3 Vegan Eggs Bobs Redmill Egg Replacer
  • 1 1/4 cup Coconut Milk
  • 1/2 cup Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Almond Extract
  • 1 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 1/4 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 cup Powder Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Milk
  • Dried Lavender Flowers For Garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325F. In a 9-in springform pan lightly spray the sides of the pan and give a dusting of flour. Then place a circle of parchment paper at the bottom. Place this on a large baking sheet just in case of overflow or leakage from the springform pan.
  • Make your vegan eggs first and let sit for one min or until thickened. In a large mixing bowl whisk your olive oil and vegan eggs together till well combined and emulsified.
  • Mix in your coconut milk, lemon juice, and extracts.
  • In a sifter add all your dry ingredients, sugar, flour, salt, baking powder & baking soda. Now sift and shake all this into your wet ingredients in the mixing bowl.
  • Whisk all your ingredients till it forms a somewhat thin batter. Do not overmix. You'll see it swell up a little and that's okay.
  • Now using a spatula transfer all this into your springform pan and make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl and get all that goodness.
  • Place this in your oven and bake for 60 to 75 mins. Make sure you check it after 60 and add 5 min increments until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Let this cook for about an hour in the pan before removing the ring and allowing it to cool down completely.
  • Make your glaze. In a small bowl combine the powder sugar, lemon juice, and coconut milk. As soon as the cake is completely cooled, drizzle this glaze all over the top and garnish with your lavender flowers and enjoy.
