Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan and parchment
3 cups cake flour, (not self-rising), plus more for pan
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 large eggs
Grated zest of 3 lemons
1 cup nonfat buttermilk
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 lemons), strained
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
2 tablespoons Candied Lemon Zest for Desserts

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch cake pan with butter, line bottom with parchment paper. Grease parchment; coat inside of pan with flour. Set aside. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter. Gradually add 2 cups granulated sugar; beat 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, until blended. Add the lemon zest; beat to combine.
  • Beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the egg mixture. Beat to combine.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the cake pan. Bake 35 minutes or until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean. Transfer to a cooling rack until completely cooled.
  • In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Cook, stirring, over medium heat, until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Set syrup aside to cool.
  • Using a wooden skewer or toothpick, poke holes 1 inch apart from each other in cake. Using all of the lemon syrup, brush the entire surface of the cake, allowing the syrup to run into the holes.
  • Whisk together confectioners' sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice, until smooth. Spread over top of cake. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Garnish with candied lemon zest. Cut in squares; serve.

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 SNACK CAKE

This was on a little card in the middle of my Cooking Light Mag (I think). It was an advertisement from Kelloggs. This recipe is amazing...it is lowfat, low sugar and high in fiber. I am very surprised at how moist it is and a very nice lemon flavor. I have made it with All-Bran and when I didn't have any I made it with Fiber One (Original). Sorry Kelloggs, I liked the Fiber One better. Just crush them up a little. Enjoy!!

FIVE MINUTE LEMON-POPPY SEED CAKE



Five Minute Lemon-Poppy Seed Cake image

I read a recipe a while back about a chocolate cake that was cooked in 3 minutes in the microwave. I didn't really believe it, but I tried it out and then proceeded to alter it to suit my own tastes because I thought it was too heavy and the texture was a bit wonky - if decent for an instant chocolate fix at 12:00 in the morning. Still, the unpleasant texture just became more pronounced as I experimented with vanilla variations. At last, here is my 5-minute lemon-poppy seed cake that rises beautifully and is light and airy - unlike the chocolate cake.

Provided by Mary Cadogan

Categories     Afternoon tea

Time 1h

Yield 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

175g butter , softened, plus extra for greasing
175g golden caster sugar
200g self-raising flour

Tips:

  • Ensure Accurate Measurements: Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements of ingredients, especially flour, sugar, and liquids. Accurate measurements ensure the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
  • Quality Ingredients Matter: Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients for optimal taste and texture. Fresh lemons, pure vanilla extract, and real butter contribute significantly to the overall flavor of the cake.
  • Proper Mixing Techniques: Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately before combining them. Over-mixing can result in a tough and dense cake. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Don't Overbake: Keep a close eye on the cake while baking. Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done. Overbaking can lead to a dry and crumbly cake.
  • Cool Completely Before Glazing: Allow the cake to cool completely before applying the glaze. This helps the glaze set properly and prevents it from seeping into the cake.

Conclusion:

The lemon poppy seed snack cake is a delightful treat that combines zesty lemon and crunchy poppy seeds in a moist and flavorful cake. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is perfect for bakers of all skill levels. Whether you're enjoying it as an afternoon snack, a dessert after a meal, or as a gift for a loved one, this cake is sure to impress.
