Vegan Lemon Blueberry Cake. Yogurt Pound Cake Loaf
Ingredients
Wet:
- 1/2 cup non dairy yogurt, or use blended silken tofu or thick cashew cream or softened vegan cream cheese or vegan sour cream
- 3/4 cup non dairy milk
- 3/4 cup or more unrefined sugar, preferably powdered
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp oil
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- Zest of a lemon or lime
Dry:
- 2 cups flour, I use 1 cup wheat or spelt flour, and 1 cup unbleached white
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup blueberries tossed in 1 tbsp flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 365 degrees F / 180ยบc. Line a loaf pan with parchment.
- Add all the wet ingredients in a bowl and whisk until the sugar is well combined. 1-2 mins
- In another bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients except blueberries. Add dry to wet and mix until just combined. Reserve 1-2 tbsp blueberries. Fold in the rest of the blueberries into the batter..
- Drop the batter into prepared pan. Distribute the remaining blueberries on top and press in lightly.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick from the center comes out clean.
- Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely before slicing. Frost or ice if needed. A simple glaze of lemon zest + lemon juice + sugar icing works really well.

I have tried this recipe several times and it turns out so beautifully! This time I used more wheat flour and added some almond flour as well. Waiting to see how it turned out. I wish I knew what the consistency of the batter should be. I used the exact recipe except the flour mix a little different.
Sometimes I want to call you when I get stuck!!!!
With whole grain flour you would need a bit more liquid. If your batter was like muffin batter then it should work out !
what oil do you use? can vegan butter be used?
I use neutral sunflower or safflower oil. Yes you can use vegan butter
Richa, youโve done it again. Phenomenal recipe. So easy to make, and so delicious.
Yay!
I saw the recipe on FB, and since I had all the ingredients, I decided to give it a go. It is so easy and delicious! I will be making this 9ften. Thank you!
Awesome!!
This loaf is great to bring to parties ( I’ve used this recipe several times) – it’s easy to cut to share – so quick and simple to make – and everyone is always happy to see slightly unusual lemon/blueberry combination – it’s something different and always surprises people in a great way.
Awesome!!
Iโve made this several times and everyone loves it! No one ever suspects that it is veganโค๏ธ
yay! so glad everyone enjoys!
Love this recipe! I havenโt rated it before but make it often. My daughter requests this for her birthday cake every year!! I add a simple glaze of confectionary sugar and fresh lemon juice on top.
yay!
The reception to this bread was pretty average in our house. Not sure what could have made it yummier, but I did follow recipe quite closely.
More sugar, or fat(oil) or lemon? Taste is personal preference so I donโt know what your expectations would be. Many people adjust the sweet to preference. This is not a very sweet loaf. Some additional lemon icing would also help .
Delicious pound cake loaf. Made for the first time today, and have added it to my muffin/loaf rotation. Love the combination of blueberries and the lemon. Not only am I a huge Richa fan, but my husband says every time we make a Richa recipe, you know it is going to taste great!
Also, I did not frost or add a crumb mixture to the top of my loaf and for us it is just perfect without.
you’re so kind Rita
