Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Butter and flour a 22 cm springform cake tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar for 8 to 10 minutes, until a thick, very pale foam forms.
  3. Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt, then fold them gently into the foam with a spatula.
  4. Add the vanilla and lemon zest, then the lukewarm melted butter in a thin stream, mixing as little as possible to keep the air in.
  5. Pour the batter into the tin and smooth the surface.
  6. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes: the cake should be well risen and golden, and come out dry when a knife is inserted.
  7. Turn out straight from the oven onto a rack and let cool completely before dusting with icing sugar.
