Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or the grated zest of half a lemon)
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 packet baking powder
- powdered sugar (for decoration)
Preparing the Lactose-Free Margherita Cake
In a large bowl, using electric beaters, whip the eggs with the sugar until you get a puffy, light, and foamy mixture.
Add the vanilla extract (or the grated zest of half a lemon) and the water and oil in a thin stream, without stopping the electric beaters.Finally, add the sifted flour and baking powder, mixing with a spatula and gentle movements from bottom to top.
When you have obtained a smooth, homogeneous mixture without lumps, grease and flour a 20 cm (8-inch) diameter cake pan and pour the prepared mixture into it.Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about thirty-five minutes, performing the toothpick test, which should come out clean when the cake is cooked.
Remove from the oven, let cool, and transfer your lactose-free Margherita cake onto a serving plate or tray.
Sprinkle it abundantly with powdered sugar and serve.
