INGREDIENTS

One 9×13-inch cake

Cake

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups water
  • ⅔ cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest, optional

Lemon glaze

  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1–2 tbsp water or unsweetened almond milk, as needed

METHOD

Make it

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 350°F; grease or parchment-line a 9×13-inch pan.

  2. 2

    Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Separately combine water, oil, vinegar, vanilla, lemon juice and optional zest.

  3. 3

    Add wet to dry and stir just until combined. Pour into pan; bake 30–35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely.

  4. 4

    Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice. Add water or almond milk a little at a time for a thick pourable glaze. Spread on cooled cake and let set.
