1 ½ cups cake flour

3 tbsp cornstarch

2 tsp baking powder

200g almond flour

3 tbsp lemon zest

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Butter and flour a rectangular pan (around 8”x 12”). Set aside.
2. Add butter and sugar into a bowl. Combine using a stand mixer or hand mixer, mix until smooth and pale, about 10 minutes.
3. Add eggs one by one and mix for 1 minute after each addition.
4. Add the lemon zest, cake flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and almond flour, mix on a lower speed so you do not over mix. Then add in lemon juice and mix well.
5. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
6. Bake in a preheated 350°F/180°C for 45-50 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

8. Let cool to room temperature and garnish with icing sugar.
