Ingredients

  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup maida
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seed

Instructions

  • To a mixing bowl add both the flours. Add sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Mix first then add oil. Add water and lemon juice.
  • Whisk well to form a smooth batter. Finally add black poppy seeds.
  • Fold it do not overmix. Grease the pan with oil then dust with flour. Tap to remove excess flour.
  • Pour the batter into the pan. I used my mini loaf pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C for 35-40 mins or until golden.
  • Insert a toothpick and check. Cool down for few mins then invert to remove the cake.
  • Cool down completely at least for a hour before slicing. Lemon Poppy Seed Cake ready!

Notes

  • Mixing batter – I usually mix batter gently and it helps to keep it light. Do not over mix as the cake may turn dense.
  • Oil choice – I used coconut oil for flavour and it gives good taste. You can use other oil also if needed.
  • Baking time – I check with toothpick before removing and it should come clean. If not bake little more.
  • Cooling cake – I allow cake to cool before slicing and it helps to cut neatly without breaking.
  • Adding seeds – I fold poppy seeds at last and it helps to spread evenly in batter.
