An amazing cake recipe I found online – Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake.
I’ve had this recipe triple-starred in my “favorites” file for a while now. Every time I make it, not only is it consistently delicious, but I am always surprised that a healthier recipe variation can be so perfect. Sometimes you can tell with “light” recipes–but this one, you REALLY can’t. Really and truly. The delectable combination of tart lemons and crunchy poppy seeds bakes into a simple, pleasantly dense pound cake that still has a fluffy bite and puckery glaze.
And really, this cake is just begging to be made for a Mother’s Day brunch. A tall stack of pancakes, a large bowl of strawberries, some thick Greek yogurt, fresh flowers on the table and this beautiful little shiny loaf to have with coffee–I think that sounds pretty good. In fact, I think it sounds fairly spectacular.
(As a side bonus, here’s a link to the Flight of the Concord’s Sugar Lumps, that I reference in the recipe below. If you haven’t watched this piece of hilariousness, you must watch it now. And if you already have–well, it’s always good for a repeat viewing.)
