    • • 2 eggs
      • 100 g (1/2 cup) sugar
    • • 80 ml (1/3 cup) sunflower oil
      • Zest of 1 lemon
      • 50 ml (3 tablespoons) lemon juice
    • 380 g (3 cups) all-purpose flour
    • 12 g (2 1/2 teaspoons) baking powder

• For Dusting:
  • 80 g (1/2 cup) powdered sugar

Directions

• • Preheat the Oven:
    • • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
