Put the form in the preheated oven and bake at 180 ° C for 50 minutes. When the cake is ready, simply let it cool down in the pan on a wire rack.

The cooled cake is then thrown onto a cake plate and coated with the cake topping. You make the icing from the juice of the lemon, which you slowly drip into a bowl with powdered sugar. Please be careful not to add too much juice to the powdered sugar so that the icing doesn't get too thin.
