Sand cake with lemon cream - the Queen of Polish Desserts

Sand cake is one of those traditional cakes that is associated with home warmth, family and happy moments spent at the table. When we add refreshing lemon cream to this classic cupcake, we get a dessert that is a real poem of flavors. This proposal is perfect for any occasion - for family meetings, special celebrations or just for a moment of pleasure in solitude with a cup of coffee. Sand cake is one of the most popular cakes in Poland. The name 'sand' comes from the consistency of the dough, which is brittle and delicate, resembling sand. In turn, lemon cream will add refreshment and lightness to the cake. The combination of these two ingredients gives a unique effect that will surely appeal to every gourmand.

About me
And short story about LEET DIET

As a choreographer and aerial gymnast, I had always been interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Diets had been my hobby, but I never truly enjoyed them until I discovered the Keto diet. After reading numerous books about how our bodies work and the benefits of a high-fat, low-carb diet, I decided to give it a try. I never looked back. The Keto lifestyle quickly became my passion, and I began experimenting with new recipes and meal plans. That's when I decided to share my knowledge with the world and created Leet Diet, a website filled with delicious Keto-friendly recipes and helpful tips for anyone looking to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
