Simple lemon cake
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. Delicious homemade baked treats always bring delight and praise, and besides, they are tastier and healthier than any store-bought ones. The ingredients needed for preparation are often already available in any housewife's fridge. You can add just lemon juice to the dough, or you can bake whole lemon slices—this will make the baked goods even more interesting in appearance and flavor. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
