Moist lemon poppy seeds cake recipe, Eggless lemon poppy seeds cake

Moist lemon poppy seed cake recipe one of the easiest one bowl mix and bake recipes that I have tried in the recent days.Yes its so easy to make and the end result is so so delicious that I gulped almost  slices at one go which is very rare.These days, I always try a smaller quantity for blogging sake and just have a bite or a slice for tasting purpose(especially baked goodies) and reserve the rest for the kids and this cake was an exception as first I had just a bite then 1, 2 and finally 3 slices 🙂

This lemon poppy seed cake has a very unique taste with the flavour of coconut oil, the tanginess is the highlight of this cake.And the mild crunch from poppy is absolute heaven I say…Do try this cake and let me know.

The cake is a bit moist so cool down completely before slicing.I was a little impatient to taste the cake so cut it just few mins after it got baked 😀 And I was really surprised when mittu was enjoying the cake as she runs miles away by the smell of coconut oil and she was enjoying the cake..yes I was a happy mother 🙂 Are you asking about  gugu…he is such a good boy unlike his mother and akka 😉 as he is not at all fussy about food so he enjoyed the cake so much :)Actually I baked a cake this week mainly for his sake as he kept asking me ‘amma cake venum’.And the last batch of black poppy seeds I had got over now have to hunt for it again.

Recipe Notes

• The orginal recipe called for coconut sugar and usual white sugar almost equal to 3/4 cup sugar(including both) for 1 cup flour which I felt would be too sweet for our tastebuds so reduced it.
• Coconut oil gives great flavour to this cake sodon't skip it.
