Step 2: Whisk the Eggs and Sugar

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar using an electric mixer until pale and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  2. Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

  1. Slowly pour in the vegetable oil and mix well.
  2. Add the milk and continue mixing until fully combined.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Gradually sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula to avoid over-mixing.
  3. If using lemon zest, fold it in at this stage.

Step 5: Bake

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  2. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Final Touches

  1. Once the cake is cool, dust with powdered sugar using a sifter.
  2. Serve with whipped cream and fresh berries if desired.

Recipe Variations

  • Chocolate Version: Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients for a chocolate twist.
  • Nutty Delight: Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans) for added texture.
  • Citrus Boost: Substitute half the milk with fresh orange juice for a tangy flavor.
  • Cinnamon Spice: Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter for a warm, spiced taste.
