Ingredients - Serves 8

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Gradually add the flour, lemon zest, and salt, mixing well after each addition.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Pão de Ló de Ovar as is, or dust it with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
