I love a good Orange and Poppy Seed Cake, but wanted to see how a Lemon and poppy seed cake would go as I have never made one. I can report its just as good, quite different to its Orange flavoured sister, but lovely none the less. You have to make the icing to go with it as it gives it a real kick of the lemon flavour and a burst of sweetness – amazing tang.
The beautiful flowers in the photo are poppies which is what inspired me to make this cake, they are so big and in full bloom at the moment, just stunning – thanks mum, hope you don’t mind a few less poppies in your garden. She normally collects the seed so she can replant them for next year. She might have a few less next year 🙂
Can I give you a word of advise? Well I’m giving to you even if you say no 🙂 Make sure you OIL THE TIN before you put the cake batter in. Write yourself a note that you’ll see or do it before you even start. Don’t tell yourself to do it then forget – like I did. Or you will be struggling to get the blooming thing out and nearly rip the cake in two trying to remove it. Its not a pretty sight so don’t forget!!!
