Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the applesauce, plant-based milk, melted coconut oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and spread it out evenly.
