Delicious Lemon Cake Recipe for Every Occasion

In a tall glass, combine the **egg yolks** and begin to beat them on medium speed with a **mixer**. Gradually add the **sugar**, ensuring not to add it all at once. This helps the yolks to whip properly, resulting in a **light and airy mixture**.

Once the sugar is fully incorporated, continue to whip for a few more minutes until the mixture **lightens in color** and **increases in volume**.

Next, add the **zest of the lemon**, **lemon juice**, and **melted butter**. Mix everything together until it’s well combined and becomes a smooth batter.

In a separate bowl, combine the **sifted flour**, **baking powder**, and a pinch of **turmeric**. Turmeric will give the cake a beautiful yellow color.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using the **mixer**, blend until everything is smoothly incorporated, but be careful not to overmix.

In another tall glass, add the **egg whites** and whip them until they form **stiff peaks**. This will give the cake a **fluffy texture** when baked.

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the main batter using a **silicone spatula**. You may also use the mixer on a low speed, but be cautious not to overmix, as this will deflate the batter.

Pour the cake batter into a prepared baking pan. Preheat your oven to **170-180°C (340-355°F)** and bake for about **35-40 minutes** or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Once baked, allow the cake to cool slightly before dusting with **powdered sugar**. Serve it with a cup of delicious, fragrant tea, and enjoy!
