Lemon Vanilla Wacky Cake

by Eli

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!!!!!!
