About Lemon zest sponge cake

Lemon Zest Sponge Cake is a light and airy dessert originating from European baking traditions, often enjoyed with tea or as a refreshing treat. This cake features a blend of flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and fresh lemon zest, which infuses it with a bright, citrusy flavor. Sometimes, a dusting of powdered sugar or a lemon glaze is added for sweetness and visual appeal. While lemon offers a natural source of vitamin C and antioxidants, the cake itself is high in refined sugar and saturated fats due to the butter and sugar content, which should be consumed in moderation. Its delicate texture makes it ideal for special occasions or as a satisfying dessert after a hearty meal. Pairing it with fresh fruit or a sugar-free topping can enhance its nutritional value and reduce overall calorie impact.
