  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and prepare 2 rectangular or square moulds of the same size by greasing them with vegetable spray.
  • In an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Add the lemon zest and eggs and continue beating.
  • Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a deep bowl.
  • Mix the lemon juice, milk and vanilla in another deep bowl.
  • Add the liquid mixture and the flour mixture little by little to the butter mixture and continue beating for 5 minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into the baking dishes and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, make the frosting by beating the icing sugar with the lemon juice and cream.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven, unmold and allow to cool.
  • Put a layer of icing on one of them and place the other cake on top of the icing (in the shape of a sandwich). Then, with the remaining icing, cover the top of the sandwich.
  • Cut the cake into squares and place each one in cupcake liners.
