Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a muffin pan or line it with paper liners.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Baking

  1. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the cakes light and fluffy.

  2. 5

    Add Flavor

    Fold in the lemon zest for a refreshing flavor.

  3. 6

    Fill Muffin Pan

    Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

  4. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Finishing Touches

  1. 8

    Cool

    Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  2. 9

    Dust with Powdered Sugar

    Once the cakes are completely cool, dust the tops with powdered sugar.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Top each cake with fresh berries before serving for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
