Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 and spray an 8x8 square baking dish with non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add the lemon zest, juice, melted butter, eggs and vanilla, and whisk the batter until smooth. Pour into the pan, smooth out the top, and bake for about 25 minutes, until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting.
Step 3
For the frosting, beat the butter, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon extract and vanilla on medium speed for 4-5 minutes until very light and fluffy. Frost or pipe onto the cooled lemonies.
