1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp fine salt
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp lemon zest (from about 3 lemons)
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit citrus peel because it adds fiber and residue. The small amount of lemon zest here contributes very little, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup whole milk
Ingredient note
Plain whole milk has no fiber, so it leaves very little residue. Choose a product without added fruit, seeds, or fiber. If you prefer to always avoid whole milk, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Ingredient note
Low Residue diets limit fruit juices with pulp, but juice carries only a trace of the fruit's fiber, and just a small amount of lemon juice is used here, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the glaze

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
