Preheat the oven to 175 °C – 195 °C top/bottom heat.
First grate the peel of the 3 lemons, then squeeze the juice from two of them.
Then beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy. Sift the flour and gradually add it with the vanilla sugar, baking powder, lemon peel and margarine. Mix everything well. Spread the dough on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Place in the preheated oven and bake on the middle shelf for approx. 20 minutes.
Now gradually mix the lemon juice and icing sugar to make a glaze – please use the lemon juice sparingly, the glaze must be nice and thick.
While the cake is still warm, prick it all over with a fork. This will make it nice and juicy, as the glaze can seep in. Then quickly spread the glaze on the warm cake and leave to cool.
