1
Warm the oven up to 350 degrees. Spray nonstick cooking spray on a 9-inch round springform pan and line it with a round piece of parchment paper.
2
Set the pan away. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl with a whisk. Set this bowl away.
3
Whisk sugar, eggs, and olive oil in another large basin. Mix lemon zest and juice well. Start with a third of the dry ingredients. Mix in half the milk. Finish with flour.
4
Fry batter. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean after baking the cake on the center rack for an hour in a preheated oven. The top may brown quickly, so cover the cake.
5
Wait 15 minutes to cool the cake on a wire rack in the pan. Cut the cake from the pan's collar with a sharp knife and remove. Cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
