Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 slices of cake

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the dish
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup rolled oats
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Lightly butter a 9-inch square baking dish; dust with flour and tap out the excess. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, poppy seeds and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the sour cream and scraping down the bowl as needed. Spread the batter in the baking dish.
  • Make the topping: Mix the flour, brown sugar, oats, poppy seeds, nutmeg and salt in a bowl; work in the butter with your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse meal.
  • Sprinkle the topping over the batter. Bake, rotating the baking dish halfway through, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

LEMON POPPY SEED CAKE



Lemon Poppy Seed Cake image

This recipe was given to one of my Uncles 25 years ago from a co-worker. It has been a much requested recipe in our family ever since. One of my favorites. *The secret to the lemony flavor is the thin glaze which sinks into the cake and then hardens and gives it a really nice texture. I love the bottom where the glaze is thickest!

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.

1/4 cup sugar

  • Meanwhile, grease 10-cup fluted tube cake pan with shortening or spray with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix 1/2 cup sugar, the lemon peel and poppy seed.
  • Gently push fist into dough to deflate; divide in half. Roll half of dough at a time into a rope, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Cut each rope into 16 pieces. Return dough pieces to greased bowl; toss gently with 1/2 cup melted butter, using hands. Sprinkle poppy seed mixture over buttered dough; toss gently until well coated. Shape pieces into balls; place evenly in pan. Cover and let rise in warm place 20 to 30 minutes or until until dough has almost doubled in size (dough will just reach top of pan).
