Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line a 20 cm springform pan with baking paper.
  1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and salt for about 10 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  1. Mix the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder in another bowl, then sift into the egg mixture in three parts, folding gently.
  1. Fold in the lemon zest and pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
  1. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour instead of wheat flour. You can substitute mascarpone with Greek yogurt for a lighter filling, or use ricotta in place of cream cheese for a different texture.
Store your Luscious Lemon Cake Delight in the refrigerator, covered loosely with plastic wrap or in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For freezing, wrap individual slices and store them in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
Enhance the flavor by rubbing the sugar and lemon zest together before adding them to the batter for an aromatic cake.
