For the Cake:

1. Preheat Oven:

3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   • Blend the almond milk, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
4. Combine Mixtures:
   • After you’ve poured the liquids into the dry ones, whisk them together until they’re barely incorporated. Make sure not to mix it too much.
5. Bake:
   • After the loaf pan is ready, pour in the batter and level it out. To test doneness, stick a toothpick into the middle and bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
6. Cool:
   • After 10 minutes, remove the cake from the pan and allow it cool fully on a wire rack.

For the Lemon Drizzle:

7. Prepare Drizzle:
   • Combine the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.

   • After the cake has cooled, poke many holes in the top with a toothpick or skewer. Spread the lemon glaze over the cake and let it drip into the cracks.
9. Set Drizzle:
   • Wait a few minutes for the drizzle to set before cutting and serving.
