Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8×8 inch pan by either greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and lemon zest until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the fresh lemon juice.
