Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in thirds, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cooled, the cake is ready to serve. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream on the side.
