Ingredients:
- 2 cups Wheat Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 to 3 Eggs (for a moist and dense cake, use 3 eggs)
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 cup Milk
- Zest of 2 Lemons
- Juice of 1 Lemon
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup Icing Sugar (Powdered Sugar)
- Juice of 1-2 Lemons (adjust to desired consistency)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C and grease a pie plate generously.
- In a large bowl, sift together the wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Ensure thorough mixing of these dry ingredients.
- In another bowl, beat the sugar and eggs until smooth and creamy.
- Add the vegetable oil to the sugar-egg mixture and continue beating until well combined.
- Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Stir in the lemon zest and juice to infuse the batter with refreshing citrus flavors.
- Pour the batter into the greased pie plate, ensuring an even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing together icing sugar and lemon juice until desired consistency is reached. The glaze should be thick enough to adhere to the cake yet thin enough to spread easily.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
- Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving the cake.
- For a decorative touch, garnish with additional lemon zest on top before serving.
