Ingredients:

Cake

• 220 g of butter at room temperature
• 2 cups premium flour
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar + extra for sprinkling

Filling

• 4 large eggs
• 5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 2 large lemons)
• 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp flour

3. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely. Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Cut into squares and serve.
