Ingredients

  • 150 grams sunflower oil

  • 250 grams sugar

  • 2 lemons (peels and juice)

  • 4 eggs

  • 200 grams wheat flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons baking powder

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 180c – with a warm air setting if you have it
  • Grate the lemon peel
  • Mix oil, sugar, lemon peel, and eggs in a bowl. Add lemon juice (minimum 4 tbsp)
  • In another bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt
  • Add the dried ingredients with the wet ingredients slowly
  • Grease a pan with a little bit of sunflower or other tasteless oil
  • Add the cake batter to the pan
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes. Depends on the oven and the pan. Keep a close eye on it so you don’t bake it dry! Prick the middle of the cake as you go – there should be moist crumbs but not wet dough.
  • Cool and serve!

    Notes

    • Better served a day later so that the cake soaks in the icing flavor and moistness!
    • Flo’s tip: to make it less sticky when un-molding a cake make sure to put some flour in the dish plate before the batter.
