The cake with lemon cream is a delicious treat to enjoy at breakfast. Fragrant and soft, it’s enriched by a delicious lemon cream, an irresistible cake accessible to everyone. This cake can also be made in a gluten-free version by replacing the flour with rice flour in the same quantities and using gluten-free corn starch in the cream. Moreover, I also propose the lactose-free cream version.
