You can absolutely make this in a stand mixer or food processor instead of in a mixing bowl. Your preference! Recipe and photo courtesy of Emily Dixon from One Lovely Life.

Ingredients
For the Lemon Cake:
1 cup
Sugar
I used organic cane sugar
zest of 2-3 Lemons
1/2 cup
Milk
I use almond or coconut milk
3 Tbsp
Lemon Juice
1/2 cup
Melted Butter
or coconut oil (or vegan butter, or avocado oil)
1 1/2-2 cups
Powdered Sugar
sifted (I measure, then sift)
Instructions
In a liquid measuring cup (or a small bowl), combine lemon juice and milk. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
While the lemon juice and milk is sitting, rub lemon zest into the sugar in a large bowl. This gets the lemon oil into the sugar and distributes the flavor really well. Stir in the butter or oil that you're using, lemon juice/milk mixture, eggs and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
In a medium bowl, stir together flour blend, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Pour into a 9-inch cake pan that has been lined with parchment paper and greased.
Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place on a cooling rack and brush with the lemon honey syrup while the cake is still warm. When the cake has cooled completely, top with glaze.
