Instructions
To make this white lemon cake, you will need to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9-inch cake pan.

Add the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until everything is combined and the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
