1 cup sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 eggs

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons finely shredded lemon peel

3 tablespoons lemon juice

Beat margarine with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add 1/4 cup of the sugar. Beat until combined. Beat in the 1 cup flour until crumbly. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 8x8x2-inch baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven to 15 to 18 minutes or just until golden.

Meanwhile, combine eggs, the remaining sugar, the 2 tablespoons flour, lemon peel, juice, and baking powder. Beat for 2 minutes or until thoroughly combined. Pour over hot baked layer.
