LEMON POPPY SEED CAKE

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.

BUTTERMILK-POPPY SEED SKILLET CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES



Buttermilk-Poppy Seed Skillet Cake with Strawberries image

This cake was born out of the need to use up some extra buttermilk and strawberries before they went bad. You can make this in a 9-inch cake pan instead of a skillet, if desired.

Provided by Kim

Time 1h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup unsalted butter
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 ½ tablespoons poppy seeds
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
1 ½ cups buttermilk, at room temperature
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved

Steps:

  • Place butter into a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Place skillet into an oven and turn on to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to allow butter to melt, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • While butter melts, mix together flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cardamom in a large bowl.
  • When butter has fully melted, remove skillet from oven and gently swirl to coat bottom with butter. Pour melted butter over the dry ingredients, and set skillet aside. Stir melted butter into dry ingredients a few times to allow it to cool slightly. Add buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, and almond extracts and mix just until batter has no dry clumps of flour in it.
  • Pour batter into the skillet and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle halved strawberries evenly over the top and place skillet into the oven.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs, 55 to 60 minutes. If cake begins to over-brown at any point during baking process, turn the oven temperature down to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and continue to bake until done (baking time will vary with a lower oven temperature). Allow cake to cool before slicing.

POPPY SEED BUTTERMILK BUNDT® CAKE



Poppy Seed Buttermilk Bundt® Cake image

This "from-scratch" recipe is consistently the best I have ever seen and used. My grandmothers, mother, myself, and now my daughter used and use this fail-safe recipe. Husband waits around to "clean" the mixing bowl! This cake is very good, if out on counter and wrapped, for up to 3 days. Great as a dessert or for breakfast! Can sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar on top, or eat it plain. Freezes nicely if wrapped well.

Tips:

  • Soften the Butter Properly: Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will ensure a smooth and creamy batter.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for a moist and flavorful cake. This step incorporates air into the batter, resulting in a tender crumb.
  • Add the Eggs One at a Time: Gradually adding the eggs one at a time helps to prevent the batter from curdling. It also ensures that the eggs are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Use Buttermilk at Room Temperature: Bringing the buttermilk to room temperature before using it will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
  • Preheat the Oven Properly: Make sure the oven is fully preheated before baking the cake. This will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the center.
  • Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: Baking the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean is the best way to ensure that it is cooked through. Overbaking can result in a dry and crumbly cake.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.

Conclusion:

The Poppy Seed Buttermilk Bundt Cake is a classic recipe that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, flavorful, and has a beautiful golden crust. By following these tips, you can easily make this delicious cake at home. Be sure to experiment with different frosting flavors to find your favorite combination. With its unique texture and taste, the Poppy Seed Buttermilk Bundt Cake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
