a delicious recipe from my great-grandmother

Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat) and line a baking sheet with baking paper. Beat the margarine with the sugar and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs until creamy. Then add the juice and grated zest of 1 1/2 lemons. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder and slowly stir into the mixture until a smooth batter forms. Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 175°C and bake the cake for another 15 minutes. Once the baking time is over, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool. While the cake is cooling, prepare the lemon glaze. To do this, mix the icing sugar with the juice of the remaining lemons with a small whisk until no lumps remain. Once the cake has cooled, spread the glaze evenly over the cooled cake and let it dry.
