Ingredients

• 250 g all-purpose flour
• 10 g baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 4 large eggs
• 200 g granulated sugar
• 125 ml whole milk
• 125 ml vegetable oil
• 1 lemon lemon zest
• 5 ml vanilla extract
• 15 g powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 23 cm (9-inch) round cake pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is thick and pale, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the lemon zest and vanilla extract into the egg mixture.

Step 5

With the mixer on low speed, gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Add the milk and vegetable oil to the mixture, mixing until smooth.

Step 7

Gently fold in the remaining dry ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
