About Lemon drizzle cake

Lemon Drizzle Cake is a classic British dessert known for its moist texture and refreshingly tangy flavor. The cake is typically made with basic ingredients such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and fresh lemon juice or zest, while a syrup mixture – often a blend of sugar and lemon juice – is poured over the baked sponge to create its signature glaze. Though beloved for its vibrant and citrusy taste, Lemon Drizzle Cake is indulgent, containing substantial amounts of sugar and butter which contribute to its richness. However, lemons add a touch of vitamin C and antioxidants, providing some nutritional value. Commonly enjoyed with tea, this dessert exemplifies comfort food but is best consumed in moderation due to its high calorie and sugar content. Options for healthier versions include substituting wholemeal flour or reducing sugar quantities for those seeking a lighter treat.
