Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and citrus zest.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into a greased 26 cm mold.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

For the Italian meringue, combine water and sugar in a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves.

Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add the hot sugar syrup while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.

Add lemon juice and food coloring as desired.
