 Lemon Cake Recipe 😍😊

Yield: 8-10 servings

Preparation time:

50 minutes

Ingredients

For the cake:

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup oil

1 cup milk

Juice and zest of 1 lemon (Tahiti or Sicilian)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

For the frosting

(optional):

1 cup confectioner's sugar

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Lemon zest for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set it to 180°C (350°F) and grease a round cake pan (22 cm in diameter) with butter and flour.

Mix the liquids: In a blender or in a bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, oil, milk, and lemon juice until smooth.

Incorporate the dry ingredients: In a bowl, sift the flour, add the lemon zest, and gradually mix in the liquid batter, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula.

Add the baking powder: Stir the baking powder into the batter, stirring gently.

Bake: Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Topping (optional): Mix the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice until a smooth syrup forms. Pour over the cooled cake and garnish with lemon zest.

Serve: Let the cake cool before unmolding. Serve in slices.

Tips

For a more intense flavor, use Sicilian lemon.

If you prefer a fluffier texture, sift the flour before using.

The topping can be replaced with a simple lemon and sugar syrup, heated until slightly thickened.
