Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 200 grams sugar
- 10 grams baking powder
- 4 large eggs
- 100 ml milk
- 100 ml vegetable oil
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 1 whole lemon lemon zest
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 24cm (9-inch) cake tin with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine flour and baking powder and set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar together with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix on medium speed until well combined.
Mix in the flour and baking powder gradually, folding gently with a spatula until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
Add the salt and lemon zest and fold gently until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the tin for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the cake from the tin to a cooling rack and let it cool completely before serving.
Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream or fresh berries.
