Step 1

Grate the 3 lemons. Better to have a small grating. Only the outermost layer, not the white one (otherwise will end up too bitter).

Step 2

Whisk eggs and sugar until homogeneous.

Step 3

Slowly mix in sieved flour, baking powder, lemon gratings, and butter.

Step 4

Pour out onto walled tray. (Preferably with baking paper, has worked without.)

Step 5

Put into 180°C oven for 20min. May take longer and/or require lower heat depending on container height.

Step 6

Squeeze out two of the three lemons.

Step 7

Gradually mix lemon juice into the powdered sugar. You want it to be quite viscous.

Step 8

Pour onto warm (preferably punctured, if you want part of the icing inside) cake that has finished baking.
