Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 1.25 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
- lemon zest (grated from one lemon)
- 1 packet baking powder
- powdered sugar (for decoration)
Preparation of the Bar Coffee Cake
Separate the yolks from the whites and beat the whites until stiff.
Beat the yolks with the sugar and grated lemon zest with an electric mixer until you get a light and fluffy mixture.Gradually add the milk and vegetable oil while continuing to use the mixer, then add the flour and baking powder.
Gently fold in the egg whites with a spatula, moving from the bottom up.
When you have obtained a homogeneous mixture, pour it into a greased and floured 9.5-inch diameter ring mold.Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about forty minutes (after the first half-hour of baking, you can do the toothpick test with a skewer stick that should come out dry when the cake is perfectly cooked).
Remove from the oven, let it cool completely, and then transfer your bar coffee cake to a serving plate.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
