1

Preheat your oven to 160ºC/ 325ºF

and lightly grease and flour a 10-inch

Bundt or tube pan.

2

In a small bowl, combine the non-

dairy milk with both citrus juices and

set aside to acidify. Using a stand mixer,

cream the butter, sugar, and both zests

together until light and fluffy. Add in the

yogurt, a heaped ½ cup at a time, beating

well after each addition to prevent

unblended lumps from being left behind.

3

In a separate bowl, combine the flour,

baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add these dry ingredients into your stand

mixer alternately with the acidified milk

mixture. Mix thoroughly.

4

Drop dollops of the batter evenly into

your prepared Bundt pan and bake

for 65 to 80 minutes, until a toothpick

inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes

before turning it out onto a wire rack.

Allow it to cool completely before icing.

5

For the glaze, simply whisk the

sugar and lemon juice together

until smooth and pour over your cake

as desired.
