Steps
To prepare the lemon and mascarpone cake, start by taking a large bowl and put the three eggs with the sugar in it. Use an electric mixer to whip these ingredients well; you need to get a puffy and foamy mixture.
Add the oil and continue to mix with the mixer, then add the mascarpone and work with the beater to blend all the ingredients together.
Take the lemon, make sure to use untreated lemon, then grate the zest and squeeze it to get the juice, add the grated zest and juice into the batter, and mix well.
Incorporate the last ingredients, the flour with the baking powder, sifting them well, and mix until you have a beautiful creamy batter without lumps.
Take the mold, mine is 9 inches with high edges, so you can use a 10-inch mold with lower edges. Line the inside with baking paper, level, and go bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 35-40 minutes.
Do the toothpick test, remove the cake from the oven, and let it cool from its mold; once cooled, serve it with powdered sugar on top.
