For the Cake:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and baking powder in a big basin and mix well.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
Blend the almond milk, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
Combine Mixtures:
After you’ve poured the liquids into the dry ones, whisk them together until they’re barely incorporated. Make sure not to mix it too much.
Bake:
After the loaf pan is ready, pour in the batter and level it out. To test doneness, stick a toothpick into the middle and bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
Cool:
After 10 minutes, remove the cake from the pan and allow it cool fully on a wire rack.
For the Lemon Drizzle:
Prepare Drizzle:
Combine the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
Drizzle Cake:
After the cake has cooled, poke many holes in the top with a toothpick or skewer. Spread the lemon glaze over the cake and let it drip into the cracks.
Set Drizzle:
Wait a few minutes for the drizzle to set before cutting and serving.
