What I love about this recipe is not just the light, fluffy texture of the cake that I can sink my teeth into. It’s not even the fact that it’s microwave only, meaning no baking, no cooking, and no hassle. My favorite thing about this recipe is how reliable this cake can be. It’s perfect for any occasion, and you can make it in less than an hour. With the perfect balance of sweet and buttery, all topped with a lemon coating, you’re sure to impress anyone and everyone!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 6 Tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS:

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, lemon zest, powdered sugar, and flour. Mix thoroughly with a whisk until crumbly. Pour into a cake pan.

In another bowl, combine eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix thoroughly with a whisk. Beat in 1 cup flour until texture becomes even. Add baking powder and salt to mixture and mix again. Pour liquid mixture on top of the cake pan and move to distribute evenly.

Microwave for 3 minutes. Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top for extra sweetness.
