Vegan Meyer Lemon Cake

Last week, my friend Emily generously gifted me 3 gorgeous Meyer lemons from her CSA box.  I was looking to procrastinate so I baked this cake. 

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour 
• 1 cup sugar 
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 Tbsp grated lemon zest
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil 
• 1 cup Meyer lemon juice (or any citrus; if using orange or grapefruit, also add 1 Tbsp vinegar) 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350℉
2. Grease and flour an 8- or 9-in square or round cake pan.
3. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl.  
4. Make two holes in the dry ingredients.  Add vanilla to one and the oil to the other. 
5. Pour lemon juice all over everything.  
6. Mix quickly with a fork until there are no clumps.  
7. Pour into the cake pan.
8. Bake 35 to 40 minutes.  
9. Cool in the pan.
10. Enjoy!

Totally making this for my boyfriend’s mom when she visits this weekend!
