Delicious Easter Cake for Spring Celebrations

Start by sifting **the flour, baking powder**, and **salt** together in a large mixing bowl. This will ensure that your cake has a light and airy texture. Add the **sugar** to the mixture and stir well.

This combination of dry ingredients plays a crucial role in the cake's structure, so take your time to mix them thoroughly.

In another bowl, whisk together the **eggs**, **melted butter**, and **milk**. Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature for the best results. **Vanilla extract** and the **zest of the lemon** can be added at this stage to enhance the flavor of your cake.

Combine the wet ingredients until they are completely blended before moving to the next step.

Gently add the wet mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; it's perfectly fine if there are a few lumps. Overmixing could lead to a dense cake, and we want something light and fluffy!

Finally, fold in the **raisins or dried fruits** to the batter, ensuring an even distribution for bursts of flavor.

Preheat your oven to **180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)**. Pour the batter into a greased and lined cake pan. Bake for **30-35 minutes**, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Keep an eye on it as baking times may vary depending on your oven. Once done, let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Once completely cooled, decorate your Easter cake as desired. You can use **icing**, **powdered sugar**, or even fresh **edible flowers** for a beautiful presentation.

Slice, serve, and enjoy this festive cake with your family and friends during your spring celebrations!
