2 cups sifted cake flour (sift first then measure)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 lemon, zest of, finely grated
1 pinch fine salt
1/2 cup butter, softened

1. Preheat oven to 350°F Grease bottom and sides of one 9 round cake pan. Line bottom with parchment paper and set aside.
