Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • small bowl
  • whisk
  • loaf pan or round cake pan

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour 240 grams
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • ½ cup vegan yogurt
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

To fold in

  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
  • 1-2 tablespoons flour

Frosting Ingredients

  • cup vegan cream cheese
  • ½ cup powdered sugar 50 grams
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 teaspoon zest

Instructions
 

  • To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare your baking tin. Grease the pan with coconut oil and line it with parchment paper. This will help the cake come out easily and prevent sticking.
  • In a large bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients and mix them well.
  • Then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk them together until you get a smooth batter.
  • Wash and dry your blueberries. Then toss them in a bowl with a few tablespoons of flour until they are lightly coated in the flour. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake when the cake is baking.
  • Once the blueberries are tossed in the flour, fold them into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level out the top. Bake the loaf for 60-65 minutes at 350°F. I baked my loaf for exactly 60 minutes, but your oven or pan might differ.
  • While the loaf is baking, prepare the frosting. In a small or medium bowl, whisk up the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest. Refrigerate the frosting.
  • When the loaf is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes at room temperature before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make sure the loaf has completely cooled off, then add the cream cheese frosting on top. Note: If the cake/ loaf is still warm, the frosting might melt off.
  • Slice the loaf and enjoy! Transfer the leftovers to an airtight container or wrap them in plastic wrap and store them in the fridge.
