Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly butter and flour a round 8-inch baking tin, then set it aside.
Zest all three lemons and then juice two of them. Reserve the juice and zest separately.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and half of the lemon juice.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the heavy cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients to ensure a smooth batter.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake bakes, prepare a simple glaze by mixing the remaining lemon juice with the powdered sugar until smooth.
Once the cake is done, allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack.
Poke small holes all over the top of the cake with a skewer and brush the lemon glaze evenly over it. Let it cool completely.
Slice and serve the Lemon Mallobet as is, or garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
