Separate the eggs, add the yolks to a bowl along with sugar and oil and whisk vigorously for several minutes until the mixture is pale yellow, thick and forms ribbons when you lift the whisk out of the bowl.

Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice. Add the sifted flour and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
