Preheat oven to 375. Grease a metal loaf or cake pan with non-stick spray.
Mix (by hand) the milk, sugar, lemon juice, melted butter, and vanilla. Option to add lemon extract or zest for a bolder lemon flavor. Add the baking powder and baking soda and mix. The mixture will begin to bubble, this is ok. Quickly add the flour and mix until smooth.
Pour the batter into a greased 9x5 loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes. You may also use a round cake pan and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes.
While the lemon cake is baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix the vegan cream cheese icing ingredients and spread over the warm or cooled loaf. Enjoy immediately .. trust me - it's good warm!
