Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup non-dairy yogurt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1 lemon, zested
3/4 cup fresh blueberries
2 tbsp all-purpose flour for the blueberries
Baking spray

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 365°F. Lightly grease a loaf pan.
Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing well as you go.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour until completely coated.
Gently fold the blueberries into the vegan pound cake batter. Feel free to leave out some blueberries for topping the batter once it's in the baking pan.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Add extra blueberries on top if desired.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer the lemon blueberry pound cake to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Do not overmix your batter, or your lemon blueberry pound cake will be dense. For a deliciously light and fluffy cake, mix just until no streaks of flour remain.
To avoid overbaking, check your vegan blueberry pound cake with a toothpick about 10 minutes before the timer ends. If it’s browning too quickly, tent it with foil.
Spoon a powdered sugar glaze over this vegan lemon blueberry pound cake for the perfect finishing touch! Just mix lemon zest, juice, and powdered sugar, adjusting the amount of sugar or lemon juice until the glaze is thick but pourable.
