Fact checkWhy other sites disagree about this item
Lemon's listings suffer sibling-shadowing: chocolate cake figures pasted onto lemon headlines, whole-loaf catering units confusing slices as ever, and rotation gaps read as discontinuation on schedule. Where carried: $2.99, 320, glazed; dated, as the whole site insists.

What is in a Lemon Cake?
Loaf-style lemon cake under citrus glaze: sharp where the case runs sweet, the palate-cleanser position dessert menus usually forget. Same slice economics as its chocolate sibling; opposite argument.
How it is made
Case-sliced, consistency total, availability the variable: lemon rotates behind chocolate’s permanence in most markets. Where standing, it’s often the sleeper pick of regulars tired of the chip hegemony.
Who it suits, and who should skip it
Citrus partisans, chocolate-fatigued regulars, and after-fried-food palates that want cutting rather than coating: the same logic that sells slaw sells this.
Is it worth the price?
The chocolate slice’s mirror: same money, opposite job, rarer sighting.
0.93¢ per calorie edges its sibling on paper (B+ against C+, the glaze’s sugar lifting calories cheaper); in practice the choice is flavor philosophy at identical stakes. Its scarcity premium is paid in finding it, not buying it.
Order hacks
- Sighting protocol: carried irregularly; buy on encounter, not on plan.
- The after-fried palate play: citrus cuts what chocolate coats.
- Same split-with-coffee logic as its sibling at 320 solo calories.
- Glaze softens agreeably with the ten-second warm trick.
- Ask counters about standing, some markets carry permanently and never say.

| Route | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Status | Regional item as of 31 Aug 2026: carried store by store rather than nationally. Check the app for your location. Closest current order: KFC Chocolate Chip Cake. |
| KFC app & website | The reference price on this page, plus app-only offers and Rewards points. The cleanest way to see your own store’s price before ordering. |
| Counter & drive-through | Franchise-set pricing: a spread of about a dollar around the reference is normal. AK, HI and CA run higher on KFC’s own note. |

| Cheaper routes | current deals change without a schedule; the app row is the truth; the standing value board (Taste of KFC, $5 Bowls, Fill Ups) usually beats a promo code. |
