Last night I had the urge to whip up something quick and delicious. A family favourite is the poppy seed cake. It's really simple to make and has a light, fluffy texture. The squeeze of lemon makes it fresh and not too rich. I love any lemon dessert. It's a great palate cleanser!
My diggs mates were thoroughly impressed with my sweet creation and we all tucked in. Hmmm...
So here's my recipe:
Ingredients:
3 extra large eggs
1.5 cups caster sugar
0.5 cup of oil
1 cup thick plain yoghurt
0.5 cup of poppy seeds
1 cup coconut
1 cup self raising flour
pinch of salt
Method:
1. Beat eggs well and slowly add caster sugar. Beat until thick and fluffy.
2. Add oil and yoghurt then mix well.
3. Fold in poppy seeds, coconut, sifted flour and salt.
4. Pour the mixture into a baking tin (or muffin tin if you prefer muffins)
5. Bake in oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees.
6. Once removed from oven, allow to cool for 5 mins.
7. Serve with a good dollop of plain yoghurt and make a dressing of fresh lemon juice and icing sugar to drizzle on top.
8. For presentation, I always like to grate some lemon zest on top!
Let me know what you think of this recipe?
Happy food. Happy photos. Happy life.
