If lemony desserts like these vegan lemon shortbread cookies and vegan lemon pound cake are your favorites, you will love this Vegan Lemon Cake with a lemon curd topping. I shared this vegan lemon curd recipe with you, and it really is the pièce de résistance for this dessert because it defines both the final flavor and look. The cake is soft, tender, moist and airy, with just a hint of lemon. But when you pour the lemon curd topping over it goes from being slightly tart to insanely lemony. The gooey, creamy curd complements the sweet crumb perfectly in every bite. It’s a dessert no one will be able to resist when you bring it to your dinner table. And did I say it was easy?

Why you’ll love this recipe
