Lemon poppy seed cake

Lemon poppy seed cake | A Sweet MuddleOne of the most popular recipes I’ve shared with you on A Sweet Muddle so far is for a boiled chocolate cake, which just so happens to be the first cake I ever baked in my life.  This Lemon poppy seed cake which I’m sharing with you today was The Cake, which finally tempted me to broaden my baking horizons and try something other than chocolate cake.

Like the boiled chocolate cake, this recipe is really simple to follow and consistently produces a great cake every time.

Around the time I first came across the recipe for this cake, baking with poppy seeds had gone from being not very common place to suddenly being very ‘on trend’.   This revelation certainly shows how times change… these days you don’t have to look far to find some form of citrus poppyseed muffin or cake in most cafes.

Because it’s so easy to get my poppy seed fix elsewhere, it’s been a long time since I’ve baked my own poppy seed cake, but when I received this gorgeous Nordic Ware Heritage Bundt Tin for my birthday earlier in the year I was reminded of this old favourite and imagined how pretty it would look baked with angular lines and it’s lemon flavoured icing drizzled on top. 

I finally had an opportunity to christen my baking tin and did indeed choose to bake this Lemon poppy seed cake, which I have to say, turned out possibly even better than I had imagined.  What’s more, it tastes as good as I remember. I hope you enjoy it as well.
