Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 pieces eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather your ingredients at room temperature for optimal mixing.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Gradually mix in the milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest on low speed until just combined and smooth.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the wet ingredients without overmixing.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 40–45 minutes until set and slightly golden on top.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving to let the layers settle beautifully.
