In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the soy milk. Combine with 1/2 cup sugar and 1 cup flour and set aside for 30 minutes. Add the remaining sugar, remaining flour, egg replacer, vanilla, almond extract, grated lemon, and margarine. Mix gently. Add the raisins while continuing to mix. Grease a loaf pan and dust with flour. Place the dough in the pan, cover with a clean cloth and set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat and, when cool, remove from the pan. In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice to make icing. Drizzle over the babka. |
