Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Use cooking oil spray to oil the paper and sides of the pan. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, stir non-dairy milk, yogurt, lemon juice, sugar, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
In another mixing bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Add the dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients and whisk until smooth and no lumps show. Don't over-mix the batter, or the pound cake turns gummy or packed.
Transfer the pound cake batter to the loaf pan.
Bake for 50-65 minutes or until a pick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. After 40 minutes, I recommend adding a piece of foil on top of the pan to prevent the pound cake from darkening too fast.
Cool the pound cake in the pan for 5 minutes, then pull the hanging parts of parchment paper to release on a cooling rack.
Cool for at least 3 hours before glazing.
Vanilla Glazing
In a small mixing bowl, stir powdered sugar, plant-based milk, and vanilla until runny and glossy. If too thick, thin it out by adding a bit more milk. If too liquid, add a bit more powdered sugar to thicken it.
Drizzle the glazing on the top of the cooled pound cake.
To set the glazing refrigerate the cake 1 hour.
Storage
Store in a sealed box for up to 4-5 days in the fridge. Freeze whole or in slices in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Thaw the day before eating at room temperature.
