Step 1
Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon and remove the zest with a fine grater. Put the oven to heat up to 180 degrees and line the form with baking paper (or grease and sprinkle with flour).

Sift flour with baking powder, add lemon zest to the mixture, mix.

Using a mixer, beat eggs with added sugar and salt for about 5 minutes. Add the flour mixture to the liquid ingredients, pour in the lemon juice, mix quickly until smooth. Add candied fruits, stir again. Put the dough in a mold and send it to the hot oven for half an hour.
