Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tablespoons butter, softened
– 1/4 cup vegetable oil
– 3 large eggs, separated
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 teaspoons lemon zest
– 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
– 1 1/4 cups whole milk
– Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease an 8-inch cake pan. Sometimes I like to line it with parchment paper for easy removal—just a little trick for you.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
3. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, butter, and oil until they’re just like a summer day—light and fluffy. Blend in the egg yolks one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
4. Now, add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture in increments, alternating with the lemon juice and milk. Stir until it’s as smooth as a calm lake at dawn.
