Simple ingredients yet simply delicious

In full disclosure, I absolutely love this Blueberry Lemon Snack Cake. I love how each ingredient shines through on its own and I love how simple & unpretentious it is.

No layers, no frosting, no ganache, no sprinkles…. just fresh blueberries + tart lemon + chewy coconut to delight your taste buds.

Blueberry Lemon Snack Cake is a rebel

Blueberry Lemon Snack Cake follows its own rules. It doesn’t conform to the way we think of traditional cakes and may leave you questioning if it is indeed a cake. If you think about it, it’s a cake you can eat with your fingers while leaning over the counter, talking to your girlfriends. You can throw it in a lunchbox without being judged that you put “cake” in your kids lunch and you can eat a slice of it for breakfast with your coffee or tea. “Pinky up” anyone?

I like rebel cake 😉 .

No Icing Needed

I also like that you don’t need to pile on the icing, because this snack cake is fabulous on its own. A little touch of toasted coconut + a sprinkling of decorators sugar (if desired) is all you’ll need to bring a smile to your mouth. Although if you love lemon and a little icing, check out my friend Chrystal’s Gluten-free Lemon Cupcakes. They are also dairy and nut-free.

You’ll love this snack cake because it’s….

  • 💙 loaded with swirls of blueberries & lemon
  • 💙 sweet, but not too sweet
  • 💙 perfect for breakfast or dessert
  • 💙 vegan + gluten-free + nut-free
  • 💙 simply delicious

Free From

What makes this Blueberry Lemon Snack Cake stand apart from the others is that it is vegan, gluten-free & nut-free. As a bonus, since maple syrup is used as the sweetener, it is also refined-sugar free. “Woo-Hoo” 🎉 gotta love that! It’s a healthier, allergy-friendly & vegan dessert that will have you craving 2 slices without feeling guilty at all!

Total Time: 35 minutes

This delightful Snack Cake is made from scratch & bursting with fresh flavors of lemon, coconut & blueberry. No icing needed.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded coconut + extra for garnish, unsweetened
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour (Bob's 1-to-1 Gluten free)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 vegan eggs (I used 2 TB Neat Egg +4 TB water), set aside
  • 1 (14oz) can coconut milk (regular)
  • zest from 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°.  Lightly oil an 8x8 non-stick cake pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients: shredded coconut, oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon & salt. 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine all wet ingredients: vegan egg, coconut milk, lemon zest & juice, vanilla, & maple syrup then whisk together. 

Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir together just until combined.  Fold in blueberries then pour batter into prepared pan.  Sprinkle with extra shredded coconut. 

Bake 30-35 minutes or until center comes out clean. Let cool in pan then cut into equal sized squares.

    What a delightful cake Nicole! I’m actually struggling with a recipe right now using just maple syrup. But your recipe looks spot on!

      It can be hard to use maple syrup instead of sugar. Typically I have to lower the liquid by 1/4 and then add as I go until I figure it out. But well worth it playing with it. I can’t wait to see your recipe, I’m sure it’ll be fabulous as always.

    I REALLY love that your recipes are ALSO dairy and egg free! It is soooooo hard to find a recipe that has all these components that actually works and tastes good! I recently made your chocolate chip cookie recipe and was so pleased with the TASTE, looks and EASE of the recipe! Thank you so much for putting out these recipes for those of us who are multiple- allergy challenged!

      Mary, you are so welcome and I’m glad you enjoyed the chocolate chip cookies as well. The biggest challenge we faced was finding recipes for multiple restrictions also which is why I love to bake so much! If you ever need a specific recipe, I’m always up for suggestions!
