Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Make three small wells in the dry mixture. Pour the olive oil into one well, the lemon juice into another, and the vinegar into the third. Add the vanilla extract over the top.
Pour the water over the entire mixture. Using a spatula or a large spoon, stir until all the ingredients are well combined and a smooth batter forms.
If you're adding blueberries, gently fold them into the batter. If you're using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first as it will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
For an extra burst of lemon flavor, fold in the zest of one lemon. This step is optional but recommended for a more pronounced lemon taste.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, cut it into squares and serve. Enjoy your dairy-free lemon and blueberry crazy cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
