How to Make a Lemon-Poppy Seed Cake

Ingredients:

  • soft butter 82.5% – 165 g;
  • sugar – 125 g;
  • large eggs – 4;
  • yogurt (or sour cream) – 4 tbsp;
  • zest of 1 lemon and 1 orange (large);
  • juice of 1/2 lemon and 1/2 orange;
  • a pinch of salt;
  • baking powder – 3 tsp;
  • flour – 300-320 g;
  • poppy seeds – 3-4 tbsp;

For the glaze:

  • powdered sugar – 140 g;
  • lemon juice – 45 ml;

For soaking the cake:

  • lemon juice – 50 ml;
  • sugar – 75 g;

Method of preparation:

1. In a deep bowl, place room temperature butter, add sugar, and start beating. Once the butter becomes light in color, begin adding 1 egg at a time, beating after each addition.

2. Add the zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon, the juice of half a lemon and half an orange, yogurt or sour cream (preferably low-fat), salt, sifted flour, baking powder, and mix until smooth. You can add poppy seeds if you like; if you do, add them at this stage.

3. Line a baking pan with parchment paper, pour in the batter, and bake in a preheated oven at 170 degrees for about 40 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.

4. Once the cake is ready, remove it from the oven, make many small holes with a toothpick, and immediately soak it. To do this, mix lemon juice with sugar (you can warm it slightly if needed to help the sugar dissolve).

5. Let the cake cool a bit, then make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice and pour it over the cake right away.
