Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Can I use any brand of breakfast cereal for this recipe?

Yes, you can use any chocolate-flavoured breakfast cereal. Cocoa Puffs, Chocolate Cheerios, or similar brands work well.

What’s the best way to store leftover Lemon Choco Cake?

To keep your cake fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of Maida for a healthier version?

Absolutely, you can substitute whole wheat flour for Maida for a nuttier, whole-grain twist. Just be prepared for a slightly denser texture.

Are there any perfect pairings for this Lemon Choco Cake?

A4: Absolutely! This cake pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. If you’re looking for another cake option, try our classic Chocolate Fudge Cake.

How can I enhance the lemon flavour in this cake?
