Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

Lay a sheet of cooking parchment on a baking sheet and spread out 25 ml poppy seeds on it.

Toast in the oven for just 5 minutes.

Leave to cool.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Put 180 ml caster sugar and 186 ml butter into a mixer bowl.

Start the mixer and beat until evenly mixed.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Add 200 ml egg, 312 ml flour, 10 ml baking powder, 7 ml fine (or table) salt and the zest of 1 lemon.

Continue beating until evenly mixed.

Stage 4 - 1 min.

Finish by adding the cold toasted poppy seeds. Beat for 1 further minute to mix in thoroughly.

Stage 5 - 1 hour

Transfer the mixture into a non-stick or well-buttered (or both) tin or mould.

It is not essential, but I recommend putting the tin in the fridge for an hour or more to firm up the mixture; this helps it rise better as it cooks.

Stage 6 - 40 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C) and bake the cake for about 40 minutes.

Stage 7

Turn the cake out gently and leave to cool on a wire rack before serving.

Remarks

Do take care not to over-toast the poppy seeds. They are very small, so 5 minutes is plenty long enough.

For a more intense lemon flavour, add a little more lemon juice.

Keeping: A few days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

Source: Home made.
