LEMON BUNDT CAKE WITH POPPY SEEDS



Lemon Bundt Cake With Poppy Seeds image

Because this is made with whole wheat flour and honey it doesn't look like most white fluffy poppy seed cakes; it's dark and golden, with a wonderful moist texture plus the slight crunch of the poppy seeds (which are another good luck food, at least in Poland). The formula is much the same as the one I used for my walnut apricot Bundt cake modeled on Peter Reinhart's formulas for quick breads and muffins, with ricotta standing in for some of the buttermilk.

Time 1h35m

Yield 1 generous ring, 20 to 24 slices

Number Of Ingredients 13

383 grams / about 3 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
145 grams / 5 ounces / 1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup mild honey, such as clover
3 eggs, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups / 296 milliliters buttermilk
6 ounces / 3/4 cup / 170 grams ricotta
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Grated zest of 1 to 2 lemons (to taste)
2 tablespoons poppy seeds

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a Bundt pan with melted butter and lightly dust with flour. Sift together flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. In another large bowl beat together eggs, buttermilk, ricotta, melted butter, honey, lemon extract and vanilla.
  • If using a stand mixer, fit with paddle and beat at low speed for about 30 seconds, then add liquids and beat for about 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined. Stop machine, scrape bottom of the bowl with a spatula to bring up any unmixed flour, and beat for another minute on low speed. If using a bowl and whisk, whisk together dry ingredients then whisk in wet ingredients until smooth. The mixture should be thick and, in the perfect words of Peter Reinhart, "soupy." Stir in lemon zest and poppy seeds.
  • Scrape batter into prepared Bundt pan and place in oven. Set timer for 45 minutes. Rotate pan 180 degrees and bake for another 25 to 35 minutes, until cake is nicely browned and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Remove from oven and allow to rest in pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then invert onto a rack and allow to cool completely.

Provided by Joanna Cismaru

Categories     cake     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon poppy seeds
2 cups granulated sugar
½ cup lemon zest
1 cup butter (unsalted, room temperature)
1 cup buttermilk
4 large eggs
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1 to 2 tablespoon milk (or as much as needed)

Steps:

  • Prepare oven and bundt cake pan: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a bundt cake pan generously with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt and poppy seeds together. Set aside.
  • Mix wet ingredients: In the bowl of your mixer add the sugar and lemon zest. Using the whisk attachment whisk for a couple minutes until the lemon zest and sugar are well blended. Add the butter and beat until mixture is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the buttermilk and eggs to the mixer and mix well for about 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.
  • Combine wet and dry: Add half the flour mixture to the mixer and mix until well incorporated. Add the remaining flour and continue mixing until well incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake: Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Make glaze: While the cake is baking, make the lemon glaze by whisking the powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract. This glaze needs to be quite runny, so add milk as needed, about a tbsp at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
  • Wait before taking the cake out of the pan: Take the cake out of the oven and let it sit in the bundt pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife along the sides of the cake if necessary, then flip the cake over onto a cake tray. Let the cake cool for a bit for about 10 to 20 minutes.
  • Drizzle with lemon glaze and serve: Drizzle the cake with the lemon glaze, cut into slices and serve.

LEMON POPPY SEED CAKE



Lemon Poppy Seed Cake image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     dessert

Time 3h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup buttermilk, shaken
1/3 cup poppy seeds (1.75 ounces)
Nonstick baking spray with flour, such as Baker's Joy
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup grated lemon zest, loosely packed (4 to 5 large lemons)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, divided
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Pour the buttermilk into a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, stir in the poppy seeds, and set aside at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Thoroughly spray the inside of a Bundt pan with the baking spray and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and 2 cups of the granulated sugar on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until light yellow and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, the vanilla, and lemon zest, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
  • Sift the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into a medium bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the lemon juice to the buttermilk mixture. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture in thirds, beginning and ending with the flour. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure the batter is well mixed. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the remaining 1/2 cup of lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over high heat until the sugar dissolves. Set aside. When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a baking rack set over a large plate. Spoon the warm lemon syrup slowly over the cake, allowing it to be absorbed into the cake. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to cool.
  • For the glaze, whisk the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl, adding a little more sugar or lemon juice to make a smooth, thick, but pourable glaze. Drizzle over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Transfer to a flat cake plate and serve at room temperature.

Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake With Lemony Glaze image

Moist and easy to make cake with tangy lemony glazing. I get requests for this cake several times a year. Time to make does not include soak time for poppy seed.

Provided by Nado2003

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup poppy seed
1/4 cup milk
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package lemon cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
1 orange, juice of
1 lemon, juice of

Steps:

  • Soak poppy seeds in milk for 2 hours. Sometimes when I am in a hurry, I put the mixture in the microwave oven for about 45 seconds. Be careful as the milk may boil over, just keep an eye on it.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease (with shortening because it will not stick as badly as oil or butter) and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
  • In a large bowl, stir together cake mix and pudding mix. Make a well in the center and pour in water, oil, and eggs. Beat on low speed until blended. Scrape bowl, and beat 4 minutes on medium speed. Blend in poppy seed mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan. Spread the batter so it's higher on the sides than middle.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Sometimes when my cake does not want to come out bundt pan, I run a bamboo meat skewer (long, skinny stick) along some of the edges to help it out. This does not seem to leave a lasting dent on the cake later.
  • Glaze:.
  • In saucepan, mix powdered sugar, orange and lemon juice together. Bring to a boil on medium heat, reduce to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Should be a syrupy consistency.
  • Pour half of the glazing into the bundt pan, then carefully line up the patterns on the cake with the patterns on the pan and put the cake back into the pan on top of the glazing. Pour the remaining glazing on top of the cake and let all of it soak inches Wait a couple of minutes until all the glazing has soaked inches Turn the cake onto a serving platter. Enjoy.

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 Cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

pam cooking spray
2 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup reduced-fat milk (2%)
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon peel
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
4 large eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon peel
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon poppy seed

Steps:

  • Prepare Cake: Preheat oven to 325°F Spray two 6-cake mini Bundt pans with baking spray.
  • Blend flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, butter, the 2 tablespoons lemon peel, the 1/3 cup lemon juice, the eggs and the 1-1/2 tablespoons poppy seed in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium; beat 3 minutes. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake 45 minutes or until wooden pick inserted near centre comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire rack; cool completely.
  • Prepare Glaze: Whisk together confectioners' sugar, the 1 tablespoon lemon peel, the 3 tablespoons lemon juice and the 1 teaspoon poppy seeds until smooth. Add water by the half teaspoon to desired consistency. Spoon over cooled cakes.
  • Cook's Tips: If you have only one 6-cake mini Bundt pan, bake the first six mini cakes. After removing cakes from pan, make sure pan is cooled and washed before using again with remaining batter. To make one large cake, use a 12-cup Bundt pan. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in centre comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Softened Butter: Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a smooth, fluffy batter.
  • Eggs: Bring the eggs to room temperature before adding them to the batter. This will also help to create a smooth, even batter.
  • Poppy Seeds: Use whole poppy seeds for the best flavor and texture. If you only have ground poppy seeds, you can use them, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Lemon Zest: Use freshly grated lemon zest for the best flavor. Bottled or jarred lemon zest will not have the same bright, citrusy flavor.
  • Bundt Pan: Generously grease and flour a bundt pan before adding the batter. This will help to prevent the cake from sticking.
  • Baking Time: Check the cake for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center. The toothpick should come out clean when the cake is done.
  • Cooling: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Glaze: Make the glaze while the cake is cooling. This will give the glaze time to thicken slightly so that it will set properly on the cake.

Conclusion:

This lemon bundt cake with poppy seeds is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a bright lemon flavor and a crunchy poppy seed texture. The glaze adds a sweet and tangy finish to the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
