Today we will share with you a quick recipe for an amazing tasting cupcake and you will never be taken by surprise by your guests again. The cake is light and very delicate in taste and is prepared very simply, and the ingredients needed for preparation are one hundred percent available in every housewife’s kitchen. To prepare a quick cake we need: eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, water, vegetable oil, vanillin, lemon zest. Agree, the list of products is very, very simple. We assure you that the recipe itself is just as simple.

Before starting cooking, we recommend preparing the oven. Turn it on to the desired temperature, let it heat up, because the cake needs to be placed in a well-heated oven, so it will bake correctly. While the oven is heating up, you can start preparing the dough. First, take care of the eggs, separate the white and yolk and beat them separately with an equal amount of sugar. Beat the yolks until light and the whites until a standing white foam forms. To ensure that the whites are well beaten to a stable foam, add a very small pinch of salt to them. It is best to add sugar to proteins gradually, so it will better increase in volume.Add vanillin and lemon zest to the yolks; if you like, you can add a drop of flavoring, such as cream or rum, to make the aroma even more interesting. Then add cold boiled water and a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil to the yolks. Vegetable oil is added to make our cake more moist. Beat everything well with a mixer again. Now sift the flour and add a couple of tablespoons of baking powder, but not too much, because then the dough will be bitter. Stir the flour with baking powder and gradually add to the yolks with water. Now mix gently with a whisk until the mixture is homogeneous. Make sure that no lumps form. If this happens, take a wide sieve and strain our mass.At the very end, add the protein foam and mix very lightly, we need to keep as many air bubbles as possible in the dough, this will make the cake more airy and soft to the touch. Grease the baking pan with butter to make the cake easy to take out. You can check the readiness of the cake using a toothpick..

After the cake has cooled, you can sprinkle it with powdered sugar. If you want to decorate it more interestingly, you can melt chocolate or make chocolate ganache. You can sprinkle chopped nuts or dried fruits on top of the chocolate. Use your imagination here.
