Lemon sponge cake with sour cream, decorated with berries and fruits - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use plain Greek yogurt as a 1:1 substitute for sour cream. The texture may be slightly lighter, but it will still yield a moist and fluffy cake.
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. For longer freshness, keep it chilled and bring to room temperature before serving.
Yes! Replace the regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (1:1 ratio). Ensure your baking powder and other ingredients are gluten-free-certified if needed.
Grease the pan generously with butter and lightly dust with flour, or line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
Absolutely! Wrap the cooled, undecorated cake tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature and decorate with fresh berries before serving.
Yes, you can reduce the sugar by up to 25% without major texture changes. The cake will be slightly less tender but still flavorful, especially with the lemon zest.
Besides berries and oranges, try kiwi slices, pomegranate arils, or even edible flowers for a vibrant and festive presentation.
Yes, but adjust the baking time accordingly. A larger pan will yield a thinner cake and require less time, while a smaller pan will need longer—check for doneness with a toothpick.
Yes, add 1-2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice to the batter for extra citrus flavor. Balance it by slightly reducing the sour cream to maintain the right consistency.
