Lemon Zest Cake
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. Sweet muffins are a real treat for kids. The filling contains juicy raisins and tangy citrus zest, giving the baked goods a pleasant aroma and citrus notes. To determine the optimal baking time, use a timer and check for doneness with a toothpick—if it comes out dry, the muffin is ready. Happy baking! Serve cooled or slightly warm.
