1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder

Using a zester or grater, remove the bright outer layer of the lemon. Set aside. Juice the lemon and reserve (you should have 1/4 cup of lemon juice.)

In a food processor, process the beans with the lemon zest and juice until smooth. Add eggs, sugar and baking powder, and process just until all ingredients are well blended.

Pour batter into a greased 8-inch springform pan and bake in a preheated 350ºF (180 C) oven for 45 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool. Dust with icing sugar. Serve with fresh fruit sauce.
