Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
1/2 cup advocate (or any similar liqueur)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for added freshness)
Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and advocate.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine. If using, fold in the lemon zest for an extra burst of flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a light finish.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: This cake is perfect for serving as a dessert at a dinner party, with tea, or as a light snack. You can also pair it with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a more indulgent treat.
