Add both to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix flour with starch and baking powder, sift over the butter mixture and fold in gently. Whisk egg whites until stiff; set aside 1 tsp, fold the rest into the batter.

Squeeze the juice of the third lemon. Mix 2 tbsp juice and the reserved egg white with powdered sugar. Melt chopped couverture in a double boiler, let cool slightly. Using a piping bag with a small tip, pipe lemon glaze on one half of the cake and chocolate lines on the other. Let the cake cool and cut into pieces for serving.
