Ingredients

• 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 10 grams Baking powder
• 100 milliliters Milk
• 100 milliliters Sunflower oil
• 5 milliliters Vanilla extract
• 1 Zest of a lemon
• 1 pinch Salt
• 20 grams Gluten-free confectioners' sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round cake tin and line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and thick. This should take about 5 minutes with an electric mixer.

Step 3

Add the sunflower oil, milk, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the lemon zest to add a fragrant aroma to the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, turn it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with the gluten-free confectioners' sugar before serving.
