  2. In a large mixing bowl combine oil, apple puree, soy milk, vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice, poppy seeds and sugar and mix well.

  3. Add dry ingredients and beat until combined.

  4. Transfer batter into prepared cake tin and bake for 45-60 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. Once baked transfer to cooling rack and prepare lemon drizzle

  5. How much drizzle you want is personal, I did about 6tbsp of icing sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla and 1/2 a lemons worth of juice. You may want to add water if it's too thick or lemony.
