Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 125 grams unsalted butter
- 5 milliliters vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 10 grams powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
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 flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is pale and slightly thick, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until just melted. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 5
Gradually add the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the egg mixture, gently mixing until combined.
Step 6
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spatula, being careful not to over-mix.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
