Lemon and Poppy Seed Cake - Recipe

Ingredients 

50g poppy seeds 

185ml warm milk 

220g caster sugar 

3 eggs 

300g self-raising flour 

200g unsalted butter, softened 

1 lemon, rind grated, juiced 

300g icing sugar

Method to the madness

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grab a loaf pan and lightly grease.

Combine the poppy seeds and milk in a bowl and set aside for 15 minutes.

Add all the ingredients to an electric mixer. Beat on high for 5 minutes until the mixture is pale and thick. 

Pour into your greased pan

Bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Turn onto a wire rack to cool.

  

Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter and place in a bowl with the icing sugar and lemon juice. Beat with an electric beater until smooth, then drizzle over the cake.

Enjoy with a cup of tea!
