    Lemon Poppy Seed Cake is a tangy, moist cake made by baking a blend of wheat flour, poppy seeds, lemon extract and sugar in loaf form and sliced. Lemon Poppy Seed Cake is a must try at home for the joy of exploring & baking.lemon poppy seeds cake recipe

    Lemon Poppy Seed Cake isone 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.
