Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Grease and flour a round cake pan.

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy.

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

Stir in vanilla extract and lemon zest.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Once cooled, spread fruit preserves on top of the cake.

Whip cream until soft peaks form and spread over the preserves.

Dust with powdered sugar and cocoa powder before serving.

Garnish with chopped almonds and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
