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.
5. Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 35-40 minutes. Test with a toothpick: if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
6. Decorate
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar for a simple, retro touch.
