The Best Vegan Lemon Blueberry Cake- Refined-Sugar-Free, Oil-Free, Gluten-Free

Lemon-Blueberry Cake

INGREDIENTS

Dry Ingredients:

2 cups almond flour
1 ¼ cups oat flour (I use organic glyphosate-free oats that I grind in the blender)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 ½ cups fresh blueberries

Wet Ingredients:

½ cup lemon juice
1 cup pitted Medjool dates
1 cup plant-based milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp lemon zest

Blueberry Topping:

10 oz frozen wild blueberries
3 Medjool dates
2 tsp vanilla

Water to thin to a pourable consistency
Optional: ½ cup toasted desiccated coconut

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

DRY INGREDIENTS

Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine.

WET INGREDIENTS

In a blender combine dates, plant milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. Whisk in zest.

FINISHING THE BATTER

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix to combine. Add blueberries and mix just to combine.

Pour batter into a parchment-lined 9" pan.

GET IN THE OVEN

Bake for 20 minutes and reduce oven temperature to 325 F. Continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until edges are browned and top it “firm” when pressed gently.

PREPARE BLUEBERRY TOPPING

Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan on medium low heat. Bring to a simmer for 15-20 minutes or until thick and glossy. Allow to cool. Blend until smooth, add water to adjust consistency.

FINISHING IT UP!
Allow the cake to cool in the pan until warm (about 20 minutes). Remove and pour blueberry sauce over top. Optionally sprinkle with toasted coconut. Enjoy!

I never comment but I feel I should. I made this yesterday and it was absolutely delicious. This is by far the best vegan dessert yet. I’ve also made a bunch of your recipes. They’re all amazing! I make your millet bread every week. It’s in the oven while I write this. Thank you for sharing all your recipes ❤

It looks really delicious :) Also, can I just say, it really makes me happy to see men like yourself promoting a vegan lifestyle. A lot of men seem to think it's feminine to be vegan or that they will lose all their muscles if they stop eating meat. You are living proof that you can still be muscular and masculine, even as a vegan. That is just what those men need to see :) Just wanted to say that.

I am so inspired by your story, your commitment to a healthy lifestyle, and your recipes. I have decided that 2024 will be my year of commitment, and I am leaning on your channel for guidance. Thank you for the inspiration and for the comprehensive wealth of knowledge you share about healthy foods.

I have made this about four times already and I am obsessed

[mindyours]

I'm hyped because I actually have all of these ingredients. I'm going to try this with cranberries and rasberries since I have those as well. You are the gift that keeps on giving.

This is what I love about WFPB food, it can be a dessert or a meal or a snack. It's just good, healthy food that doesn't have to fit in a category. This is my justification for eating WFPB chocolate cake for breakfast 🤣

Oh my, that looks yummy! I believe its time you you to publish a cookbook. I would sure buy one.
