Ingredients

Scale

Egg White Mixture:

  • 4 eggs (room temperature)-separated

Yolk Mixture:

  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter-melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • grated zest from 2 large lemons
  • 1 ¾ cups milk-lukewarm

Additional:

  • powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides, and grease with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare Egg White Mixture: Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then set aside.
  3. Make Yolk Mixture: Beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow. Add melted butter, vanilla, and mix well. Mix in flour, lemon juice, and zest until combined. Slowly beat in the lukewarm milk.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Add egg whites and whisk by hand, leaving small lumps. Pour the thin batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake: Bake for 40-60 minutes until the cake is barely jiggly in the center but firm on top. Check after 35 minutes and cover with foil if browning too quickly. Do not overbake.
  6. Cool and Serve: Cool the cake completely, then dust with powdered sugar before serving. Store any leftovers in the fridge.

Notes

  • The batter will be very thin, and small egg white lumps are expected.
