Step 1: Prepare the Lemon Cream
- In a medium saucepan, whisk the egg and sugar until well combined.

- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt until frothy.
- Gradually add sugar and continue beating until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Mix in the sour cream and vegetable oil, ensuring they are fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and vanillin.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to maintain the batter’s airiness.
Step 3: Assemble and Bake
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Spoon the cooled lemon cream onto the batter, ensuring an even layer.
- Pour the remaining batter over the lemon cream, covering it completely.
