2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1.75 teaspoons baking powder
0.75 cup milk
1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan and gather all ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pour in milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
