FRENCH LEMON CAKE 
3 eggs
3/4 c. sugar
1 1/2 stick butter
1 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Peel of one lemon, grated

Mix eggs, sugar, and butter until creamy. Add dry ingredients. Mix well. Stir in grated lemon peel and pour into a greased 8x8 cake pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until done. Cool for 10 minutes, then add this icing while still warm.

ICING:

Juice of 2 lemons
1/2 c. sugar (enough to cover top of cake)

Sprinkle a thick coat of sugar (1/8 of an inch or so) on top of cake. Slowly pour lemon juice over sugar. Refrigerate overnight. It tastes more lemony.
