- ½ cup of flour
- ½ tsp of baking powder
- ¼ tsp of baking soda
- A pinch of salt

Instructions
- Crack 2 eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup of sugar to the eggs. Beat the eggs and sugar until the sugar completely dissolves.

- Add 1/2 tbsp of lemon zest to the mix. Ensure you include only the green skin, avoiding the bitter white part beneath.

- Use a beater to mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Beat for 1 or 2 minutes until a smooth batter is formed.

- Use a nonstick dish for baking. Place a Stainless Steel Trivet inside the dish. Preheat the dish for 5 minutes.
- Position the loaf pan inside the preheated dish. Bake on low to medium heat for 40 minutes, ensuring even cooking.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1/3 cup powdered sugar with 1 tbsp of lemon juice.
- Pour the powdered sugar and lemon juice mixture over the baked cake, creating a delightful glaze. Sprinkle additional lemon zest over the cake for a burst of flavor.
