Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish to prepare it for the cake. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Then add in the melted butter and milk, mixing well until you achieve a smooth batter.
Next, gently fold in the egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the egg whites into the batter to keep it light and fluffy.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 40 minutes or until the top is golden and set. Let it cool slightly before serving. This cake is best enjoyed warm, and it pairs wonderfully with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.
