Easy Tablespoon Italian Lemon Cake
This Tablespoon Italian Lemon Cake is delicious, lemon-flavored, fluffy, and incredibly easy to prepare. The name itself suggests that there's no need for a scale or measuring cup, making it perfect even for kitchen novices.
Although the original version features lemon, the Tablespoon Lemon Cake can be easily adapted to any flavor - orange zest and juice, cocoa (by replacing part of the flour with cocoa powder), or by adding fruits, nuts, or chocolate chunks.
For more experienced people, we've also provided the ingredient measurements in grams and milliliters. Additionally, if you have a slightly larger pan than the 24cm one used here, you can adjust the ingredients proportionally by 1/3 for optimal results (our mobile app can handle this automatically for you).
