Heat oven to 350F. Combine sugar and butter in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add lemon juice and lemon peel; continue beating until well mixed. (Mixture will look curdled.) Combine flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl.
