Lemon Poppy seed cake

This is one of the desert recipes that I love so much. It is easy to make. Very good for Friday night guilty pleasure. Give it a try and you will fall in love with the recipe :o). The recipe in the video is also a very good one.


Ingredients:
1 cup of all purpose flour
1cup yogurt(lemon flavor)
1/4cup of white sugar
1/2tsp baking soda
1tspbaking powder
1/4tsp salt
1/2tbsp poppy seeds
1/4cup of homo milk
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup of unsalted butter
1tbsp finely grated fresh lemon zest

For topping:
3/4cup of granulated sugar
3/4cup of fresh lemon juice

Method:
Mix all the dry ingredients(except the lemon zest) together, set aside. Also mix the wet ingredients( including the lemon zest) in a sizeable bowl. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ones, and mix until just combined.

Pour the barter into a greased rectangular baking pan(bread pan). Bake for 25mins at 350degrees F or until a tooth pick appears clean after inserting in the center of the loaf. Set the cake aside to cool over a flat surface or cookie rack.

While the cake is cooling down, make the syrup. Pour the lemon juice  and the remaining sugar into a clean pot, bring to boil. Stir until the sugar is completely melted.

Poke some holes on the cake using a tester or a small knife. Scoop some of the  syrup over the cake making sure that some of it goes into it through the holes. Make sure to coat all sides of the cake with the syrup. Allow to cool completely, if possible, cool in the fridge for about a day before serving.

Enjoy!
