I give up

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!
