Actually in reality Vegetarians shouldn't eat eggs because its a form of meat, milk comes from a cow so real vegetarians don't drink milk either.

Answer 1

1⁄2 cup packed light-brown sugar

4 tsp. grated lemon peel

3⁄4 tsp. ground cinnamon

Answer 2

Vegetarians do drink milk and use eggs.  It's called ovo-lacto vegetarianism.

But if you wish to have a vegan lemon cake, it's simple.  In most recipes, you can use soy milk in place of cows' milk in a 1:1 ratio.  You can use rice milk as well, but for every cup of cows' milk, just do a splash less rice milk.

For eggs, as long as it isn't eggy or egg-based, you can use Ener-G Egg Replacer, and the box has instructions there.  If it doesn't say so, mix the replacer with the water before mixing it into the batter.

You can make flax eggs, soaking 1 tbsp flax seeds in 3 tbsp water per egg until it forms a slurry.

You can also use 1/4 cup silken tofu (the kind in the aseptic box on the shelf) per egg.

Vegan Lemon Cake

Monday October 13th 2003, 9:56 pm

Filed under: Recipes

Ingredients:

1 large lemon (juice and rind)

1 ½ cups all purpose flour

1 cup sugar

1 tsp. baking soda

6 tbsp. vegetable oil

1 tsp. vinegar (Yep, vinegar, but I promise you, you won’t taste it.)

1 tsp. vanilla

Water

Preheat oven to 350°.

Put flour, sugar and baking soda into a mixing bowl. Mix them together fairly well.

Then grate all your lemon rind into a measuring cup. (I find this is lots easier using a large liquid measure. I just lay the grater over the liquid measure and the rind falls in.)

Then, take your already sorely abused lemon, cut it in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into your measuring cup.

Next add water to your rind and lemon juice until you have filled one cup.

Pour your lemon juice mixture into your bowl of dry ingredients.

Add oil.

Add vanilla.

Add vinegar.

Mix well.

Mixture will foam.

Pour into an ungreased 8 inch cake pan. Bake 25 minutes, or until cake bounces back a bit when you touch its center.

Ice with your favorite vanilla frosting.

http://www.your-vegetarian-kitchen.com/h...

has an entire section on Eggless Desserts and more than two dozen cake recipes on three pages. These are primarily vegetarian not vegan. I use butter and dairy in them as well as cake flour.

To make them Vegan -- substitute Earth Balance Margarine for the Butter and Soy Yogurt thinned with Soy Milk for the Kefir or Buttermilk.  The results will still be lovely.

Of course you should also use Vegan Cane Sugar because commercial Granulated Sugar has been put through a refining process using burn bone meal.

Have fun and enjoy your lemon cakes!

On page three there is a lovely recipe for a lemon poppy seed cake and on page two there is an awesome recipe for an Orange Cake which can be easily converted to Lemon by simply using Lemon where Orange is called for.

On these pages I call for Ener-G Egg Replacer but OrgraN No-Egg is equally good and can be substituted without difficulty.

Answer 6

regular lemon cake doesn't have meat in it, therefore it is already vegetarian

Answer 7

that would be vegan. vegetarians just don't eat meat. the eggs we buy at the store aren't going to turn into chickens so its not meat. and just because milk comes from cows doesn't mean its meat!

Answer 8

it seems like what you're looking for is a vegan cake recipe.  there are several types of vegetarians, and some eat eggs and drink milk.

ovo-lacto vegetarian: eats eggs, drinks milk, doesn't eat meat

lacto vegetarian: drinks milk, doesn't eat eggs or meat

vegan: doesn't eat any animal product, including honey, eggs, milk, etc.

here is a recipe for vegan lemon poppyseed cake:

Answer 9

LEMON cake has no f***ing meat, its f***ing LEMON

Answer 10

Vegetarians by definition do not eat MEAT of any kind.

People who eat no animal products (eggs, milk) are known as VEGANS.

This is why you got the answers you got.

Eggs are used in baking as a leavening, to make the mixture rise. There are thousands of recipes which use no eggs, only BAKING POWDER, to create the cake texture. Learn one basic recipe like that and you can vary it forever with flavourings and toppings/

Milk and cream are often used for fillings, and to give more flavour than water to light batter mixes. You might get a fair result substituting soyamilk.

If drinking soya milk, be aware it does not contain the calcium that cow's milk does, so you need get calcium elsewhere for the good of your bones.
