Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup coconut sugar (or any granulated sweetener of your choice)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, melted coconut oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or top with additional fresh blueberries before serving.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
For a sugar-free version, use a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit sweetener instead of coconut sugar.
Feel free to swap the blueberries for other fruits like raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries.
If you want extra indulgence, drizzle a lemon glaze made with powdered sugar and lemon juice over the cake.
