1
Preheat oven to 180u00b0C (360u00b0F). Line a baking tray (30x40 cm or 12x15 inch) with baking paper.
2
Place the soft butter in the bowl of the stand mixer and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar and continue beating for several minutes.
3
Add the eggs one at the time, mixing very well before adding the next egg. Add vanilla. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl a few times in between. Add the zest of the lemon and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
4
Mix together flour and baking powder and sift over the butter-egg mixture. Incorporate gently.
5
Pour batter onto the prepared tray and bake for about 20 minutes. The cake should remain pale and still lightly moist inside.
6
For the glaze, mix the icing sugar with enough lemon juice to obtain a spreadable paste. Spread this over the hot cake, working quickly, and distribute sprinkles evenly on top.
