Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170 °C and butter and flour a 22 cm chimney (ring) mould.
- Whisk the eggs with the sugar for 3 minutes until frothy and pale.
- Add the oil in a thin stream, then the milk, the lemon juice and zest, and the vanilla. Mix well.
- Gradually fold in the flour, baking powder and salt, mixing just until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour into the mould and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Insert a knife in the centre: it should come out dry.
- Turn out once cooled, then dust with icing sugar before serving.
Variations and tips
Orange version. Replace the lemons with an unwaxed orange, whose zest and juice give a gentler fragrance.
With what you can find here. For the raising agent, one teaspoon of baking powder from a tin will do if you don't have sachets.
