Lemon poppy seed cake
Description
Baking is simple and quick. Making the lemon cake starts by pouring the poppy seeds with boiling water and letting them sit for 10 minutes, then draining and letting the water run off. Take a cake pan, grease it with butter, lightly dust with flour, and at the same time preheat the oven to 180 °C. Take a bowl. Put the butter in it and start beating (with a mixer or blender) until it becomes a white foam, add sugar, vanilla, and an egg. After the egg is beaten, add the second one. Then add salt, zest, lemon juice (25 ml), poppy seeds, sour cream and stir with a spoon (the blender is no longer needed). Pour in the flour, baking powder, and mix so there are no lumps. Transfer the batter to the pan and bake for 30–40 minutes. Let the finished cake cool a little. Then brush it with lemon juice mixed with 2 tablespoons of water. For decoration, the top of the cake can be drizzled with a sugar glaze.
