- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a round cake pan (23cm in diameter).
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In another bowl, mix the softened butter with the sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and flavor: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the lemon zest, juice, and vanilla extract.
- Combine with dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until smooth.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and decorate: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and serve.
This delightful lemon cake is perfect for tea time or as a light dessert after dinner! 🍋🍰
