3 eggs
180g sugar
200g all-purpose flour
80ml vegetable oil (or 100g softened butter)
100ml milk
1 sachet baking powder
Zest of 1 lemon (or vanilla, if desired)
Powdered sugar for garnish
Simple yet balanced ingredients for a soft, aromatic, and tall cake.
Preparation
1. Beat the eggs with the sugar.
Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the liquid ingredients.
Add the oil (or melted butter, if you prefer a traditional version) and room-temperature milk. Continue mixing.
3. Combine the dry ingredients.
Add the sifted flour, baking powder, and lemon zest. Stir gently from the bottom up to avoid blowing the mixture away.
4. Pour into the pan.
Grease and flour a 22-24 cm round cake pan. Pour in the batter and smooth it out.
