Lemon Cake Pops
These Lemon Cake Pops offer a bright citrus flavor balanced with sweet cake. They are simple to make and serve well for parties or as a light dessert.

Notes
When testing these, I focused on keeping the lemon flavor bright without overpowering the cake. Once that balance was achieved, they became very refreshing.
