4 T lemon juice
1.5 T lemon zest

For the glaze

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius and grease an 8-inch baking tin.

Mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, soy milk and vanilla essence in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk in the molasses, sugar and oil.

Put the dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir until well-distributed. Mix in the wet ingredients.

Pour the mixture into the baking tin. Bake for 25-35 minutes, until the top is brown and the edges are pulling away slightly from the tin. Leave to cool.

For the glaze: Melt the margarine. Mix all the ingredients together. Wait until the mixture is cool but not cold and pour over the cooled cake.
