2 large eggs
24 tbsp all-purpose flour (1 ½ c.) (195g.)
16 tbsp sugar (1 c.) (200g.)
1 tsp baking powder
zest one lemon
2 tbsp lemon juice
10 tbsp milk (½ c. + 2 tbsp) (150 g.)
10 tbsp vegetable oil (your choice I use corn or sunflower oil) (½ c. + 2 tbsp) (125 grams)
TOPPING:
2-3 tbsp Icing/powdered sugar for dusting finished cooled cake
How to make Tablespoon Italian Lemon Cake
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C.
Step 2: Grease an 8 or 9-inch cake pan or 20 to 23 cm, then dust with flour.
Step 3: Place the flour and baking powder in a small bowl. Mix well until combined.
Step 4: Beat the sugar and eggs in a large bowl on low to medium speed for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Step 5: To the bowl, add the zest, juice, oil, and milk. Continue to beat until blended, then add the flour mixture and beat again on low speed until smooth.
Step 6: Into the prepared cake pan, pour the mixture and place in the preheated oven. Bake the cake for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven when done and allow it to cool in the pan. To a cake platter, transfer the cake.
Step 7: Before dusting the cake with powdered/icing sugar, allow it to cool fully first. Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
Make sure to beat the eggs and sugar only at low speed and never on high. Also, when adding the flour mix, beat on low.
You can also use a whisk or spatula instead of a mixer.
