A lemon mud cake is a sticky, lemon cake that is baked in the blink of an eye.
Did you know that there is also a lemon version of the mud cake, that sticky chocolate easy-to-make cake?
The lemon mud cake takes your thoughts to the spring as it tastes both wonderfully fresh and sweet at the same time. As in a real mud cake, the plot of a lemon cake is to leave the cake sticky, muddy in the middle.
The dough is very easy to make as the ingredients are just mixed together.
