About Lemon cake
Lemon cake is a sweet, tangy dessert originating from Western cuisine, often associated with British afternoon tea traditions. It's made with basic baking ingredients such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and fresh lemon juice or zest, which gives its signature citrus flavor. Some variations include a lemon glaze or cream cheese frosting for added richness. While lemon cake provides a refreshing taste and small amounts of vitamin C from its citrus content, it is primarily high in sugars and fats, making it better suited as an occasional treat rather than a regular dietary item. Healthier versions may substitute refined sugar with natural sweeteners or replace all-purpose flour with whole-grain alternatives to increase fiber. Lemon cake remains a popular choice for celebrations or as a companion to tea, offering a balance of sweetness and tang that appeals to many dessert enthusiasts.
