Mix the eggs and sugar together until they are well combined and have a creamy consistency.
Pour in 12 tablespoons of oil and mix it into the egg and sugar mixture.
Add 12 tablespoons of milk to the mixture and continue mixing.
Sift in 12 tablespoons of flour gradually while stirring to avoid lumps.
Zest and juice half a lemon and add them to the batter for a lovely citrus flavor.
Finally, add 11g of baking powder and mix it in thoroughly.
Grease a 20cm cake pan and pour the batter into it.
Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool.
You can optionally dust the top with powdered sugar or add a lemon glaze for extra flavor.
