HOW TO MAKE THIS ULTRA–MOIST LEMON CAKE
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt until light and slightly foamy.
- Add the lemon zest — this is what gives the cake its deep, fresh flavor.
- Pour in the melted butter and whisk again until smooth.
- Add the flour and baking powder, mixing gently until just combined.
- Add the milk to thin the batter slightly and make it extra tender.
- Pour into a greased loaf pan.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and springy.
