In an effort to fully explore all the Vegan Strawberry Shortcake options for Nate & Ingrid’s wedding, we have to be open to all possibilities. So far we’ve tried your typical Wacky Cake, Vegan Shortcake, Vanilla Almond Wacky Cake, and last night we experimented a bit more.
Lemon Vanilla Wacky Cake
(for a 8″ square/circle pan, double this recipe for a 9 by 13)
Sift together into the pan in which you will be baking the cake:
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix the dry ingredients together with a fork, making sure to get an even mixture. Then make 4 wells (some big, some small, and some just right) in the dry ingredients. Pour one of the following ingredients into each of the wells (respectively):
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoon lemon zest
Then pour 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into 1 cup of cold water and pour that over the whole thing: mix well with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes… until a toothpick comes out clean.
LEMONY!!!!!!
