Despite the sharp sour taste of lemon, this lemon poppy seed
cake brings out the mellower side of lemon. Teamed up with Blue Poppy Seed,
this cake can never go wrong.
Lemon poppy seed cake also baked in different forms. You may
find it baked in Bundt cake pan, loaf pan, cupcakes and also the regular cake
pans. Either way, the taste should be the main appeal and the blue poppy seed
makes the cake even more interesting. Not just to the eye appeal, but also the
excitement in every bite. Blue poppy seed gives random little crunch as you
munch the cake. I personally love the overall taste of creamy and moist with
little crunchy bits. L.O.V.E.Dot.Com!
The recipe I own and cater for clients is a rather creamier
tasting than the average true-lemon tasting cake. It is a little crumbly in texture,
but the moistness of the cake overcomes the crumbliness mess just fine. Also, I
changed the recipe to be a little less sweet since overly sweet cake can mask
the creaminess and the lemony taste.
As far as the frosting goes, I believe this cake has always
been served with cream cheese frosting or poured with lemon flavored flat icing.
Flat icing is a type of sugar icing similar to royal icing. Recipe can range
from just as simple as icing sugar and water, to ones with additional flavoring
and coloring. Some also glazed with lemon flavored syrup that I think can be a
little too much for my liking and for clients with sugar-conscious diet.
Lemon poppy seed cake has been baked and served through the
years and believed to be originated from the Britain. Then, it was a serving
for the breakfast but now, we can just have it anytime. Some people also said
that this is a variation of the traditional pound cake or butter cake. I’d say,
with vast range of ingredients nowadays, lemon poppy seed cake has been taken
to another level than just the ordinary pound cake variants.
