Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Zest Cake.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a 9-inch square baking pan a light greasing to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat together the sugar and butter until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, almost like a cloud! Next, add in the eggs and a splash of vanilla extract, mixing until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder, creating a light and airy blend.
Step 4
Gradually fold this dry mixture into your creamed mixture, stirring gently until just incorporated—don’t overdo it! Now, it’s time to add a splash of milk along with the zesty lemon zest and juice, mixing until your batter is smooth and inviting.
Step 5
Carefully spoon the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to ensure every bite is just as delightful as the last.
Step 6
Pop it into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your treat is ready to shine.
Step 7
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you await your scrumptious creation!.
