2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
Beat sugar and butter together in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
Sift flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl; add to creamed mixture. Pour in milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice and mix until you achieve a smooth batter. Spoon batter into the prepared pan.
