Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a ring-shaped cake pan with butter.

  2. 2

    Whisk together eggs and granulated sugar in a large bowl until pale and fluffy, then stir in milk and melted butter for a smooth, moist batter.

  3. 3

    Add lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt; whisk again to distribute flavors evenly.

  4. 4

    Sift flour together with baking powder, then gradually fold it into the wet mixture. Mix gently to avoid overworking—just until combined.

  5. 5

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully unmold onto a rack and let cool fully before slicing for breakfast or snack.
