1 Preheat the oven to 200°(th6+)

2 Zest one lemon and chop these zests finely, then squeeze the juice from the 3 lemons and set aside.

3 In a large bowl, pour the flour, brown sugar, salt and baking powder then mix everything together.

4 Add the 4 eggs one by one and finally the melted butter then mix everything intimately with a whisk or spatula.

5 Cut the pieces of citron into small cubes and pass them in flour (this way they will remain suspended in your cake)

6 Add to your mixture (batter) the lemon juice, the chopped lemon zests and the citron cubes.

7 Pour into your cake mold (Teflon) and place in the middle of the oven, let it cook for 5 minutes then lower your temperature to 180°(th6) cooking 35 minutes which you will then test using a needle which must come out dry and hot.
