🍋 Italian Lemon Cake That Melts in Your Mouth

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan.
  2. Whisk eggs and sugar together until light and creamy.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Mix in oil, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  4. Add dry ingredients: Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix gently until smooth.
  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

💡 Tips

  • For extra softness, replace 2 tbsp of milk with plain yogurt or ricotta cheese.
  • It’s even better the next day when the lemon flavor deepens! 🍋
  • Try brushing a little lemon syrup (lemon juice + sugar) on top while warm for a glossy finish.

Would you like me to share the super creamy lemon version — the one with a custard-style filling inside (like they serve in Italian cafés)? 😋
