In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt for ⏱️ 20 seconds, set aside.
3
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together sugar and lemon zest for ⏱️ 30 seconds until fragrant and slightly yellow in appearance.
4
Add butter and whip mixture on medium speed until very pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs one at a time then blend in vanilla extract.

Pour and spread batter evenly onto prepared baking sheet (it will seem thin but it should bake up nearly to the top). Bake ⏱️ 22 - 25 minutes until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.

In a mixing bowl whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth (If needed you can add a little more powdered sugar to thicken or more lemon juice to thin).
