Berries like blueberries, strawberries and blackberries make a great addition to the lemon angel food cake. The tartness of the berries complements the sweetness of the cream while highlighting the natural sour flavors of lemon.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Sprinkle with coconut: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another flavor that plays really well with lemon is coconut.
