Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 3 large Eggs Provide structure and moisture; use large eggs for optimal binding.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness; can be substituted with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Creates structure and texture; gluten-free alternatives like almond flour work well.
  • 1 cup Milk Contributes moisture and richness; substitute with almond milk or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 2 large Fresh Lemons Key for that tangy lemon custard cake delight; fresh lemons enhance the flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Melted Butter Enriches the cake's flavor and texture; use coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Elevates the overall flavor; always opt for pure vanilla for the best results.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by greasing it with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Whisk until well incorporated and set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and the juice of 2 fresh lemons until smooth and frothy.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, folding gently without overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
