- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Press half of the dough into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, and sugar.
