Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 200 gr sugar
- 120 gr butter
- 100 gr Potato Starch
- 180 gr all-purpose flour
- Freshly grated peel from half a lemon
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- Powdered sugar for decoration
Optional for filling
- sweetened whipped cream
- custard (or pastry cream)
- Nutella
Instructions
- Beat the butter with the sugar and the freshly grated lemon peel with an electric beater or in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
- Add the butter and sugar alternately and beat for at least 15 minutes until creamy and fluffy.
- Slightly beat one egg at a time and pour it into the mixture.
- add another egg when you have incorporated the previous one.
- Beat the mixture at a low speed until fluffy and smooth.
- Sift the flour, the potato starch, the baking powder, and the salt; mix in a spoonful of flour at a time.
- The flour has to be completely incorporated before adding another spoon.
- Continue to beat with the paddle attachment until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the batter into a 9-inch (24cm) springform pan lined with parchment paper.
- Pre-heat the static oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for about 40 minutes.
- Be careful not to open the door until the surface becomes golden brown.
- Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake: if it comes out clean, your cake is done.
- While still hot, release the side of the springform pan and place the cake upside down onto a large flat serving plate, peel away the parchment paper.
- let it sit for about 15 minutes (otherwise it will get too moist).
- Invert the cake back onto a cooling rack.
- Let it cool completely and then generously sift powdered sugar all over the top of the cake.
