simple sponge cake from a loaf pan, approx. 12 pieces

Rinse a lemon with hot water, dry it, and grate the zest. Squeeze both lemons; this yields approximately 120 ml of juice. Measure out 80 ml of juice and 3 tablespoons of juice. Beat the eggs and sugar in a bowl until frothy. Stir in the oil, yogurt, lemon zest, and 80 ml of juice. Mix the flour with the baking powder and salt and stir in. Fill a greased and floured loaf pan with the batter and bake the cake in an oven preheated to 150°C (fan-assisted) for approximately 1 hour. Cover with foil for the last 20 minutes, if necessary. Remove the cake from the oven and pierce the surface with a wooden skewer. Drizzle the cake with the liqueur and let it cool for 15 minutes. Mix the icing sugar with the 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Remove the cake from the pan and place it on a wire rack. Spread the lemon glaze evenly over the surface. Let the cake cool.
