- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Cake
Mix all your dry ingredients in a separate bowl until well-combined.
Mix all your wet ingredients in a bowl until well-combined.
Combine mixtures and mix until smooth.
Divide combined mixture into loaf pans, and bake for 45–60 minutes, or until a knife or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
