Ingredients for Lemon Cake:
- 4 eggs
- 1 lemon
- ¾ cup of vegetable oil (150 ml)
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of milk (200 ml)
- 3 cups of flour
- 1 packet of vanilla
- 1 packet of baking powder
For Lemon Sauce:
- ¼ cup of powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
Instructions for Making Soft and Moist Lemon Cake:
1. Start by grating the zest of one lemon. Cut the lemon and squeeze out the juice without peeling it. Only use the lemon zest.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of granulated sugar and 4 eggs until they turn pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. This beating process is crucial for achieving a beautifully risen cake. Continue beating until the mixture reaches a mayonnaise-like consistency and color.
3. Add ¾ cup of vegetable oil, 1 cup of milk, and the freshly squeezed lemon juice from one lemon into the mixture. Continue to beat.
4. Sift 3 cups of flour, 1 packet of baking powder, and 1 packet of vanilla into the cake batter. Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice onto the baking powder. This will activate the baking powder, helping the cake rise.
5. Add the grated lemon zest and gently mix all the ingredients with a wooden or plastic spoon.
6. Pour the mixture into a greased cake mold and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for approximately 45 minutes.
7. While the lemon cake is baking, mix 2 tablespoons of lemon juice with ¼ cup of powdered sugar to prepare the lemon sauce.
8. Perform a toothpick test, then remove the cake from the oven. Once it has cooled, drizzle the lemon sauce over the top.
9. Your lemon cake is ready to be sliced and served. Enjoy!
