Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius / 360 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking tray (30 x 40 cm/ 12 x 15 inch) with baking paper.

Add the eggs one at the time mixing very well before adding the next egg. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl a few times in between.

Add the zest of 1 lemon and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.

Mix together the flour and the baking powder and sieve over the butter-egg mixture. Incorporate carefully.

Pour the batter onto the prepared tray and bake for about 20 minutes. The cake should remain pale and still lightly moist inside.For the glaze mix the icing sugar with enough lemon juice to obtain a spreadable paste.
