How I make it

  1. Beat the butter and sugar well.

  2. Add the eggs and yolks, the lemon zest and the salt, and keep beating.

  3. Mix the flour, cornstarch and baking powder together and fold them into the batter.

  4. Butter a loaf pan, dust it lightly with flour and pour in the batter.

  5. Bake for 8 minutes in an oven preheated to 410°F (210°C).

  6. Take the pan out and run a knife around the cake to loosen it from the pan.

  7. Lower the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for about 30 minutes more.

What I've learned

  • I sometimes add almonds or chocolate chips to the batter.
