Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a cake pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing and flouring it.
2
Toast the sunflower seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden and fragrant. Let them cool completely.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and lemon zest.
4
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6
Fold in the toasted sunflower seeds. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
7
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting onto a wire rack.
8
Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with whole or chopped sunflower seeds.
