Storage, tips, and variations

– The cake can be stored in a tightly closed container or covered with aluminum foil for 3-4 days.

– You can replace the lemon zest with the zest of an orange or 2 tangerines.

– The original recipe called for 180 g of sugar, but to my taste, the cake would have been too sweet. If you think the 150 g in my recipe is too little, you can increase it to 180 g as in the original recipe.

– If you have lactose intolerance issues, you can replace fresh cream with vegetable cream.

– If you don’t want to use fresh cream or don’t have it available, you can use 130 g of milk + 50 ml of seed oil.
