Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving Size: Lemon tarts are best served chilled, but they are just as delicious warm, right after baking. You can serve them on their own or with a white or lemon filling, as well as whipped cream or Greek yogurt.
store: Store the lemon tart in a tightly closed container at room temperature for 2-3 days. You can also store them in the refrigerator for about 4 days. If you want to kep them longer, you can freeze them in portions – after defrosting, they will retain their taste and moisture.
Variations:
Lemon Poppy Seed Cake: If you like a slightly nutty taste, add 2-3 tablespoons of poppy seeds to the batter. Combined with the lemon flavor, this will create an interesting texture and flavor.
Lemon Cake with Frosting: If you want the cake to have a stronger lemon flavor, you can prepare a lemon frosting (mix powdered sugar with lemon juice) and pour it over the cake once it has cooled.
Blueberry Lemon Pie: For an extra fruity touch, add fresh or frozen blueberries to the batter. Gently fold them into the mixture before placing them in the pan.
