Step 1

How to bake an egg-free cake with milk? Prepare the ingredients. Use all-purpose flour (high grade). Vegetable oil should preferably be refined and neutral in flavor; I used sunflower oil because olive oil can add slight bitterness. You can replace milk with plain yogurt or kefir, but then the amount of flour may change.

Step 2

Sift the flour into a bowl and mix it with sugar, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Pour in room-temperature milk and whisk until smooth. If you’re making this cake for the first time, add the milk in parts and watch the consistency. The batter should be thick and viscous.

Step 4

Add the vegetable oil and lemon juice and mix again. The batter should be semi-thick and pourable.

Step 5

Pour the batter into a silicone pan and tap the pan lightly on the table to release excess air. If your pan is made of another material, line it with parchment and grease it with oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 40-50 minutes, until a skewer comes out dry.

Step 6

While the cake is baking, make the syrup. You can skip soaking the cake, but with syrup it turns out juicier and more aromatic.

Step 7

Pour lemon juice into a small saucepan and add sugar. Bring to a boil over low heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Pour the syrup into a convenient container and let it cool. Properly cooked syrup will thicken as it cools.

Step 9

Without removing the cake from the pan, poke deep holes in it with a skewer. Pour the syrup over the top. Let the cake cool completely.

Step 10

Transfer the cake to a serving plate and serve. Enjoy!
