How to Make Lemon Cake Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
