Have a nut allergy?
Ground almonds: Swap for coconut flour or oat flour (blitzed oats)
Almond milk: Swap for another plant-based milk
Carefully pour the cake batter into a lined 900g loaf tin.
Meanwhile, whilst the cake is baking prepare the Lemon Drizzle Sauce – just mix together some coconut sugar, lemon zest and juice – ready in 30 seconds!
Leave the baked cake in the tin for 30 minutes, then carefully use the paper to lift it out. Make some small holes in the top – I used a chopstick but a skewer or small pointed knife will work too, and drizzle over the tangy sauce to guarantee a maximum lemon hit.

Lemon Drizzle Cake (Gluten-Free & Vegan)
Ingredients
Lemon Drizzle Cake
- 100 g coconut oil melted (roughly 7 tbsp)
- 150 g coconut sugar
- 200 ml almond milk (unsweetened)
- 2 lemons (zest of 1 and juice of 2)
- 225 g gluten-free self raising flour
- 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
- 150 g ground almonds (nut free? check blog post for alternatives)
Lemon Drizzle Sauce
- 1½ lemons (zest of 1 and juice of 1½)
- 30 g coconut sugar
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C fan/gas mark 6. Line a 900g loaf tin with baking paper
-
Now, in a large mixing bowl add the 100g melted coconut oil and 150g coconut sugar and whisk until smooth
-
Add the 200ml almond milk, zest of 1 lemon and juice of 2 lemons and whisk
-
Into the bowl sieve 225g gluten-free self raising flour, 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder and 150g ground almonds (some ground almonds won't go through the sieve, just add them into the bowl)
-
Mix until it forms a smooth batter and pour into the prepared tin
-
Bake in the oven at 180°C fan/gas mark 6 for 35 minutes
-
Meanwhile, make the lemon drizzle sauce. In a small bowl, mix the zest of 1 lemon, the juice of 1½ lemons and 30g coconut sugar.
-
IMPORTANT Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin, for at least 30 minutes, this helps it to firm up a little more inside
-
Once the cake has cooled, in the tin for 30 minutes, carefully lift it out, using the paper. Then, with a chopstick, create holes across the top and pour over the lemon drizzle sauce. Top with lemon slices, if using and slice
