CARROT-POPPYSEED CAKE WITH LEMON GLAZE



Carrot-Poppyseed Cake with Lemon Glaze image

Classic carrot cake takes cues from lemon-poppy seed loaf in this elegant hybrid. It has all the warming spices of a traditional recipe, but the tiny, satisfyingly crunchy seeds replace nuts and raisins in the batter. And instead of a thick cream-cheese frosting, it's topped with delicate Meyer-lemon glaze.

Provided by Lauryn Tyrell

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes one 8-by-4-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup carrot juice (store-bought or fresh) or water
2 cups shredded peeled carrots (from 1 pound)
3 tablespoons poppy seeds, plus more for sprinkling
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh Meyer-lemon juice

Steps:

  • For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a standard loaf pan (8 by 4 inches) and line with parchment, leaving an overhang on both long sides; butter parchment. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and salt until combined. Beat butter and both sugars with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat 3 minutes more. Add vanilla, carrot juice, and carrots; beat until well combined, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture, then beat in poppy seeds just until combined.
  • Transfer batter to prepared pan, smoothing top with an offset spatula. Bake until a tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool 20 minutes in pan on a wire rack set inside a baking sheet. Remove cake using parchment, transfer directly to rack, and let cool completely.
  • For the Glaze: In a large bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar and 3 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth, adding more lemon juice, teaspoon at a time, until icing is thick and pourable. Pour glaze over top.
  • Sprinkle cake generously with poppy seeds and let glaze set completely, about 30 minutes; transfer to a serving platter. Cake can be stored, covered, at room temperature up to 3 days.

POPPY SEED CAKE



Poppy Seed Cake image

If I would need to choose one cake in the whole world it would be poppy seed cake. You might have difficulties finding ground poppy seed in your country as it is forbidden in some as it is said to be addictive. This is a fact in my country of emigration so please think of me when you have your helping on this wonderful cake! NOTE: Semolina is wheat flour

Provided by Iceland

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup milk
1 cup ground poppy seed
1 cup semolina
1 egg
1 cup red currant jam
1 lemon, rind of
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
butter, for the baking tray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven at 200°celcius.
  • Mix milk, poppy seeds, semolina, the egg, jam, cinnamon and baking powder in a bowl and stir until completely mixed.
  • Grind some lemon peel into the dough.
  • Butter the baking tray (any form will do but I like to have it in a long one or a Gugelhupf one) and put the dough mixture in it.
  • Bake the cake for about 45 minutes.
  • Check on a needle if it is ready.
  • You can also use orange marmalade--that works great as well.
  • If you use sugar-free jam, this cake is sugar-gluten-and all but happiness free!

Tips:

  • Measuring Ingredients: Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements to ensure accurate baking results.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor and texture.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature before mixing. This will help the ingredients combine smoothly.
  • Mixing: Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Baking Time: Use a toothpick or cake tester to check for doneness. Insert it into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Cooling: Let the cake cool completely before frosting or decorating it.

Conclusion:

With its moist, flavorful crumb, crunchy poppy seed filling, and sweet glaze, the Country Poppy Seed Cake is a delightful treat perfect for any occasion.
