Most accounts, such as exemplified in this answer here, present lembas as being a rarely-made / distributed and otherwise protected food.
Wikis never seem to give discussion on the matter, which leads me to think that no conceptual composition has ever been given - rather that its traits, effects, and consideration were Tolkien's intended impression.
LOTR:FOTR gives a comparison of lembas / waybread to other 'cakes' and such, but surely this only implies that lembas were produced from ground constituents that were held together with a binder (i.e. like any bread / cookie / biscuit / cake).
Is more said of lembas than this?
