• 150 ml fresh lemon juice (from about 1 organic lemon)
• 60 ml of water
• 80 ml of sunflower oil
• 1 sachet of baking powder
• The zest of 1 organic lemon

Instructions:

1. Prepare the lemon-sugar mixture:
   • If you are using a kitchen appliance like Mycook replaces the word nice with emptyuch, pulverize the sugar with the lemon zest to avoid white, bitter skin. Otherwise, you can use a regular mixer or whisk by hand.

2. Mix the wet and dry ingredients:
   • Gradually add the sunflower oil and water, mixing well after each addition.
   • Finally, sift in the flour, cornstarch and baking powder and mix until the dough is smooth.

3. Bake the cake:
   • Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
   • Pour the batter into a buttered and floured 22cm cake tin.
   • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
   • Let the cake cool in the pan before removing it.
4. Serve:
   • Once cooled, sprinkle the top of the cake with icing sugar.
   • Serve the slices with a wedge of fresh lemon or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch.
