LEMON POPPYSEED YOGURT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175°C (350F) and line or grease a 9" loaf tin with parchment paper or butter. (You can also use a 9" round sprinform pan or bundt cake tin).
• Sift and mix flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
• Place oil and sugar in a large mixing bowl of a stand mixed fixed with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Add vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice and mix for another 30 seconds.
• Add eggs, one by one, and mix until well combined.Add half of the dry ingredients alternating with half of the yogurt and mix on slow speed until just combined. Add remaining ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in poppyseeds using a spatula.
• Pour batter into loaf tin and bake for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cake surface should be deep golden brown. Allow to cool for 5-10 min in baking tin, then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely before glazing.
• To make the glaze, place sifted powdered sugar in mixing bowl. Add 1-2 tbsp. of yogurt and 1-2 tbsp. of lemon juice and mix well until a desired consistency is reached. For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar. For a runnier glaze, add more lemon juice and/or yogurt. Pour or spoon glaze over yogurt cake. For a thicker glaze layer, allow first glaze layer to set (in the fridge) and repeat the glazing step.

LEMON POPPY SEED YOGURT CAKE

Steps:

• For the poppy seed yogurt cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Line the sides of the pan with a strip of parchment paper that rises above the edge of the pan. Grease the paper.
• Place a large sifter or a sieve in a large mixing bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and sift.
• In another large bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, yogurt, zest, lemon juice, and sugar until combined.
• Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until there are no lumps and the batter is smooth. Fold in the poppy seeds.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake in the center of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, and the cake bounces back when lightly pressed. Cover the top with tinfoil after 30 minutes if it's browning too quickly or turn the oven down slightly.
• For the citrus syrup: While the cake is baking, make the citrus syrup. In a heavy saucepan over low heat, stir the juice and sugar together until the sugar has dissolved. (The longer the syrup simmers, the more it will reduce and thicken.) For a syrup that really soaks into the cake, keep it reasonably runny. Stir the mixture often to make sure it doesn't smoke or burn.
• Remove the cake from the oven and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Run a butter knife around the cake to gently release. Peel off the parchment paper from the sides. Turn out the cake onto a wire rack set over a baking sheet or dinner plate to catch any drips when you add the syrup.
• Poke holes about an inch apart in the top of the cake with a skewer and slowly spoon the syrup over the top of the cake, gradually letting it soak in.

LEMON POPPY SEED CAKE

Steps:

• Pour the buttermilk into a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, stir in the poppy seeds, and set aside at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Thoroughly spray the inside of a Bundt pan with the baking spray and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and 2 cups of the granulated sugar on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until light yellow and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, the vanilla, and lemon zest, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Sift the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into a medium bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the lemon juice to the buttermilk mixture. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture in thirds, beginning and ending with the flour. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure the batter is well mixed. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
• Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the remaining 1/2 cup of lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over high heat until the sugar dissolves. Set aside. When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a baking rack set over a large plate. Spoon the warm lemon syrup slowly over the cake, allowing it to be absorbed into the cake. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to cool.
• For the glaze, whisk the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl, adding a little more sugar or lemon juice to make a smooth, thick, but pourable glaze. Drizzle over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Transfer to a flat cake plate and serve at room temperature.
