Instructions
1
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (356°F) and grease an 8-inch springform pan, then line it with baking paper for easy removal of the cake.
2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 6 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice with the egg replacer powder. Allow it to rest for a few minutes to activate.
3
In the Thermomix bowl, combine lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, cooking oil, and brown sugar. Mix on speed 5 for 10 seconds, then scrape down the sides and mix again for another 10 seconds.
4
Pour in the almond milk, vanilla extract, and the previously mixed egg replacer. Blend on speed 4 for 10 seconds until fully combined.
5
Add the flour and salt to the bowl. Mix on speed 4 for 20 seconds. As it mixes, introduce the baking powder through the hole in the lid to ensure it disperses evenly.
6
Carefully pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time.
