FAQ ❓

What makes a lemon sponge cake different from other sponge cakes?

The lemon sponge cake is distinguished by its refreshing citrus flavor, which adds a unique zest compared to traditional sponge cakes that may be more neutral in taste.
To achieve a fluffy texture, it's crucial to whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks and gently fold them into the batter to maintain airiness.
Yes, you can substitute the organic lemon with other citrus fruits like lime or orange, and you can use alternative flours for a gluten-free version, but it may alter the flavor and texture.
Store leftover lemon sponge cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate it for up to a week to maintain its moisture and flavor.
You can enhance the flavor by adding a pinch of salt, using fresh lemon zest, or incorporating a lemon glaze on top after baking for an extra burst of citrusy goodness.
