Pandoro/Nonna's cake, Both have lemon in them. I did a little research because I was interested in the hype. My guess this is one of those flavors 10% of people like and the other 90%, you name it. Will watch the thread and hope you receive more info. Good post.
Lemon, huh. I saw a recipe for coffee cake that had it. Hmmm.
Yes, I hope users chime in. Thanks for the boost.

I have used it couple times. I liked the flavor, you can cover the lemon part up or pull it out if you want. I need to play around with it more but have not gotten back too it yet. You just have to try it. Everyone taste are different.
Okay. Actually, I was looking for a simple white cake that I can stock up on.
Also thinking on a cherry cake with cream cheese icing. Seems a simple cake flavor can go a lot of directions.
Thanks.

Yellow cake used to be everyones cake flavor till found out had fructose in it. The new flavors that flavorah is coming out with might make up for what your looking for but not sure.
Any progress? Not here.
The best bakery flavors to date for me is : CA Sugar Cookie,TFA Belgian Waffle. Both are distinctive.
As to fears about fructose and other possible bad additives:
"It's funny, we're all concerned if flavors have anything bad in them and yet we smoked for years knowing it was all bad. I'm going to be ...... if I get hit by a bus. My last thought is going to be "But God, I only vaped the good flavors"."

Would not be surprised, took up DIY to cut costs. Flavorah pricing is too over the top for me when gambling on a "wished for" flavor. Maybe if they sold a 2 ml. sample for half a buck or so, might get more business.
Nonna's is more of an Italian spiced cake. Has lemon and anise notes. FA seems quite fond of the spices as other flavorings of theirs have notes like this. Myself I was never much into the spiced cake kind of thing. I'd rather just have the straight cake and I'll add my own spices if I want. To each his own cake.
I bought some due to great reviews. It sits in my stash, almost as full as the day I received it. I guess I'm part of the 90% BrotherBob mentioned. Sorry that I can't really explain the flavor, other than displeasing.
Gonna Cake to me taste almost like the regular pound cake you buy at the super market - a hint of vanilla and perhaps a bit of nutty flavor.
Nonna's Cake is a very very good FA flavor. A not too sweet pound cake with hints of vanilla and lemon. It is a bit creamy too. I like to vape it standalone or mixed with some Ripe Strawberry from TFA. As standalone I can vape it all day.
I would have liked it if I didn't get an anise note in it. I really don't care for anise/ black licorice.
To me, it is more of a spiced cake (anise & nuts) forward with lemon in the background. It is definitely a spiced cake and benefits from an added cream or marshmallow to soften the dryness. I don't know if you ever tried the commercial juice named "Pound It," as I suspect it uses Nonna Cake to achieve the spiced pound cake flavor. I have used it with other cakes and creams in recipes, but not as a standalone as I find it to be dry.
Whatever it is, it doesn't taste like cake. i buried it in the backyard next to Joy.
Many of the flavors with spice are dependent on % mixed to either work, or become drain food. FA Joy is one of those flavors. For me, anything over 0.50% becomes a pile of yeast and stale beer. It is in bakery recipes where one is driving towards a fried dough flavor. To me, Nonna's Cake is the same. As someone else mentioned, FA likes their spices and these flavors require finding your sweet spot in order to shine. Like everything else in the vape world, taste is subjective and some may never find their sweet spot for certain flavorings. It is not a one flavor fits all game.
I buy Nonna's cake for only one recipe
Simply Cannoli
It is an amazing cannoli and the rest of the ingredients hide the anise/liquorice well enough that it does not bother me. It's a shame because I love the rest of the Nonna's flavor but I have to bury it in recipes because anise even used sparingly hits my taste buds like a sledgehammer and really grosses me out

I must have pretty dead taste buds 
---Love Nonna's Cake and don't get any anise from it. Standalone at 5%, 50/50 pg/vg and 9mg nic. Also, I wonder if the reason I don't get the anise is because the supplier...oh well, it wouldn't be the first time that this happens to me...
