Lemon & Poppyseed Drizzle Cake

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. In the mixing bowl, mix the softened butter and sugar until you have a creamy texture. Mix for 15 sec / speed 3.

Step 2

Add in the eggs, a pinch of salt, lemon zest, crème fraîche & mix again for 20 sec / speed 3.

Step 3

Mix the flour & dried yeast together, then slowly incorporate them into the butter-sugar-egg mixture. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon & the poppy seeds. Mix 10 sec/ speed 4 until you have a smooth & creamy paste.

Step 4

Grease your loaf tin (we used a 29 x 10 cm dish here) & pour in the batter. Bake for 40 minutes at 180°C.

Step 5

Once the loaf is golden, plant the tip of a knife into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the loaf is ready, otherwise, bake it for another 2-3 min. Leave to cool before serving. Enjoy !

Step 6

Optional : Make some icing by mixing 100g of powdered sugar and the juice of 1/2 lemon to make a smooth mixture. Drizzle it on top of the cake, adding some extra zest or poppy seeds to decorate. Enjoy !
