Method

1
Take a small dollop of butter and grease a bundt pan (volume at least 1.2 l). Dust the pan with breadcrumbs.
2
Beat the softened butter, sugar, and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.
3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating vigorously after each addition. Finally, fold in the grated lemon zest.
4
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Sift the flour mixture and add the lemon juice in a few additions to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until smooth.
5
Spoon the batter into the cake pan.
6
Bake on the bottom rack of the oven at 175 degrees. The baking time for the cake is 45–50 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick.
7
Let the cake cool for a moment before turning it out of the pan. The cake is best made well in advance of serving (e.g., the day before). The cake can also be frozen.
8
Serve the cake with coffee. Decorate by dusting with sifted icing sugar.
