Lemon cake with poppy seeds
The combination of fresh, sour lemon and the nutty poppy seed taste gives lovely, summery associations, Anna finds. "Serve the cake for your dear ones and let the thoughts wander to a warm summer day," she smiles.
Turn the oven to 175 C fan.
Whisk butter, sugar, and salt into an airy mix. Add one egg at a time while whisking.
Now, add Greek yoghurt, lemon juice and lemon zest to the mix, and whisk it all together.
Mix flour, baking soda and baking powder in another bowl, and then pour it through a sieve into the other mix. Add the poppy seeds. Mix the ingredients together and pour it into the baking mould.
Bake the cake for approximately 1 hour. When it is fully baked, let it cool off inside the baking mould for about 10-15 minutes, then take it out and let it cool on a griddle.
While the cake is cooling off, you can make the cream cheese frosting. Mix the cream cheese together with icing sugar and lemon juice. Leave the frosting at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before spreading it on top of the cake.
