Ingredients
- 3 Eggs
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 Lemon juice
- 3/4 cup Milk (180 ml)
- 1/3 cup Vegetable oil (90)
- 1 packet Baking powder

Preparation
In a bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and grated lemon zest using a mixer, for about 5 minutes.
Pour in the oil and gradually add the sifted flour along with the baking powder, then add the milk and mix; then add more flour and the lemon juice.
Now pour the mixture into a greased and floured 9.5-inch pan, then transfer your cake to a preheated oven at 350°F static and bake for 30-35 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by combining the lemon juice and warm water with the sugar and mix well. Afterwards, when the cake is out of the oven and cooled, pour the glaze on top, then let it rest for a couple of hours before serving.
If you want to enhance the citrus flavor of this fragrant lemon cake, you can replace the lemon juice with a small glass of limoncello. THE LEMON CAKE can be stored under a cake dome for 2-3 days.
