Preparation procedure

  • Preheating the oven Heat the oven to 175 °C and prepare a pan lined with parchment paper. This will make the cake easy to remove.
  • Preparing the liquid mixture In a bowl, whisk the eggs, a pinch of salt and the vanilla until they lighten and become foamy. This step will give the cake airiness.
  • Adding the sugar Gradually add the sugar and whisk until the mixture reaches a creamy consistency.
  • Oil With the mixer running, slowly pour in the oil. It will ensure a beautifully moist crumb.
  • Lemon flavor Fold in the lemon zest and juice. The zest will add aroma, the juice a pleasant freshness.
  • Liquid ingredients Pour in the milk and mix until you have a smooth batter.
  • Dry ingredients Mix the flour with the baking powder and gradually work it into the batter. Don't overmix.
  • Baking Pour the batter into the pan, smooth the top and bake for 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cooling Let the cake sit in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.
  • Lemon glaze Whisk the powdered sugar with the lemon juice into a smooth, glossy glaze. If it's too thick, add a few drops of juice.
  • Finishing Pour the glaze evenly over the cooled cake and sprinkle with a little lemon zest. Let set for 10–15 minutes, then slice.
