1. Whisk the eggs with the sugar.
Beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
2. Add the wet ingredients.
Add the oil (or melted butter if you prefer a traditional version) and the room-temperature milk. Continue mixing.
3. Mix the dry ingredients.
Add the sifted flour, baking powder, and lemon zest. Gently fold from the bottom up to avoid overmixing.
4. Pour into the pan.
Grease and flour a round cake pan (22-24 cm in diameter). Pour in the batter and smooth the top.
5. Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 35 to 40 minutes. Check with a toothpick: if the batter doesn't stick, the cake is done.
6. Decoration
After cooling, dust with powdered sugar for a retro touch.
