This Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Cake is one of my favorite vegan baking recipes. It is rich and fluffy and packs a lemony flavor punch. Not only is this cake vegan, but it’s also gluten-free, which makes it a winner on two counts! 

To make this cake, start by combining wet ingredients with dry ingredients to form a thick batter. Fold in poppy seeds and transfer to the oven to bake. Once cooked, remove the cake from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before transferring it to a baking tray to let cool completely. Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice to make a glaze and drizzle over the top.
