**Lemon Sponge (FLAVRZ) 8% (7-10-23)** -- Back into it, with this, the Lemon Sponge (cake). I did want to get into this one, as it smelled hella-licious in the bottle. Testing it, continued that trend, and I was greeted by a pretty accurate Lemon Cake. Now, missing was some or most of the almost baking powder-ish undertones that I often associate with a sponge" cake. Needless to say, even devoid of those, the yellow-ish cake notes were spot on, and accurate. It was baked, but no brown, or burnt edge notes, and it didn't feel lacking because of that. The lemon was still tarty and punched through the cake with no issues, which isn't always easy to do, especially when pairing it with cakes/bakeries. It presented as a natual/artificlal mix, of maybe a 70% natural / 30% artificial ratio. Tarty, with some sweetness, and a touch of sour (tart). As a whole it worked really well as a lemon cake, but I wasn't 100% sold on the "sponge". Call it a nit-pick at best, as people's definition of "sponge" will vary. It was very good at 8%, and overall sweetness was just below mid-level, and I will admit to getting lost in it, and nearing the finishing of the third tester, I had almost forgotten to get NOTES lol. For a "sponge" cake, it was just need a bit more, and only minor take-offs for that, and it felt super solid @ a **9.0/10**, as it presented as much more of a lemon cake. Still QUITE good. Don't let the lack-o-sponge stop ya.
