Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan with unsalted butter or cooking spray and line with parchment paper.

- In a separate bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Optionally add the lemon zest.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant finish.
