easy and fast

Beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy. Add the melted butter, baking powder, and lemon flavoring. Once everything is combined, add the flour a spoonful at a time. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan (I usually use a loaf pan). Preheat the oven to 165°C and, once it’s warm, bake the cake on the middle rack for 45 minutes. I’ve tried various variations: friends particularly like mixing in candied lemon and/or candied orange peel. To prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom, simply take a little of the flour and shake it with the fruit in a freezer bag. The cake is also delicious garnished with nuts or chocolate chips. For a child’s birthday party, you can also easily color the cake with food coloring.
