Instructions:

To begin preparing your Lemon Cake, the first step is to prepare the lemons by peeling them. Start by carefully using a smooth-bladed knife to remove the zest and the bitter white pith underneath. Once the zest and pith are removed, cut the lemon pulp in half.

Next, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) in static mode. Take all the ingredients and place them into a food processor fitted with blades. Begin by adding the baking powder, sugar, and flour to the mix, followed by the lemon pulp, sunflower oil, and whole milk.

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You should have a consistent batter ready for baking.

Take a 20 cm (8-inch) round springform pan and grease it generously with butter, then dust it lightly with flour to prevent the cake from sticking. Pour the cake batter into the pan, spreading it out evenly.

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before removing it from the pan. For a finishing touch, dust the top with powdered sugar for an extra burst of sweetness.

Now, your fragrant and delicious Lemon Cake is ready to be served and enjoyed. It’s the perfect dessert for any occasion, offering a light, refreshing citrus flavor that will brighten up your day!
