Vegan Lemon Coconut Cake ya’ll! This cake is the best of what the vegan cake world has to offer! It’s a Lemon cake AND a coconut cake! Moist, tart, sweet, and decadent. This is the type of dessert that makes everyone happy. Enjoy!
This one of those “keep on the counter” types of desserts. This lemon coconut cake so easy to whip up, and even easier to please a crowd with!
I’ve made this recipe 4 times: Bundt style, cupcakes, loaf style, and even crispy, chewy waffle style…I KNOW!
Serve it along side some fresh squeezed vanilla-bean nut milk and babyyyyyyyy…you have yourself a match made in cake heaven! It’s sooo good. Kind of poundcake-like in texture, but a tad lighter in density.
You know what else is a pretty good idea but I haven’t tried it yet? Crumbling this cake on top of coconut yogurt. YUM!
This cake is such a crowd pleaser. Even non-vegans love it!
