• All Purpose Flour (Maida) - 1.5 cup
• Butter - 1 stick
• Egg - 2
• Sugar - 1 cup
• Vanilla Essence - 1/2 tsp
• Lemon Juice - 3 tblsp
• Lemon Zest - 1 tblsp
• Milk - 3-4 tblsp
• Baking Soda - 1 tsp
• Baking Powder - 1.5 tsp
• Salt - a pinch

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

In the large mixing bowl beat the butter and sugar until it is smooth and creamy.

Add the eggs one at a time while continuously mixing the mixture.

Add vanilla extract, lemon juice and lemon zest and mix.

Sift the dry ingredients together into a separate bowl - maida (flour), baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Add this to the wet ingredients gradually with continuous mixing.

Add milk and mix until it forms a smooth batter.

Lightly grease the baking dish with some cooking spray and dust with some dry flour.

Pour the cake batter into the pan. Pat the pan so that the batter smoothies out.

Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool the cake before removing it from the pan.

You can also use the same batter to make lemon cupcakes.
The cupcakes will cook faster in about 20-25 minutes.
