Lemon Poppy Pleasure

Lemon Poppy Pleasure is a delightful dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is a combination of tangy lemon and crunchy poppy seeds that will leave your taste buds craving for more. To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cake:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup buttermilk

For the glaze:

- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the lemon juice and zest. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, until everything is well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
This Lemon Poppy Pleasure is a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors that will leave you wanting more. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a crunchy texture from the poppy seeds. The glaze adds an extra burst of lemon flavor that ties everything together. This dish is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a special celebration or just a casual get-together.
