POPPYSEED POUND CAKE

Whether you're hosting a brunch, baby shower, or birthday, this too-cute cake is a must-make for your dessert buffet.The poppy seed and frosted cheese made it great for any occasion. The recipe calls for lemon glaze but I changed it to cream cheese frosting. It's tasty and delicious

Poppy Seed Pound Cake

Ingredients:

2 cups cake flour

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled to slightly warm

1/4 cup vanilla yogurt

3 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice,  I used a combination of Meyer and Eureka lemons

3 tablespoons poppy seeds

4 eggs

1&1/4 cups sugar

For the Lemon Glaze

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, from 1/2 lemon, I used a Meyer Lemon

Directions:

In a  large bowl  mix together the butter, yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice and poppy seeds.

In a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment beat together the eggs and sugar on medium speed for 5 minutes or until thick and light colored.

Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture.  Fold in 1/4 of the butter cream mixture to lighten it then fold in the rest.  Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for one hour to one hour and ten minutes or until the cake is golden brown, pulls away from the side of the pan and springs back when you press it in the middle.  Cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes.

Make the Lemon Glaze

While the cake is cooling whisk together the confectioners sugar and lemon juice until it is a spreadable glaze.

When the cake has cooled down slide it out of the pan, place it on the rack and spoon the glaze over the top.

This cake can be wrapped and stored for 3 days at room temperature.

Saya suka resipi ini cukup sesuai untuk sebarang functions lebih-lebih lagi buat minum petang . Mudah membuatnya dan sedap rasanya. Resipi asal meletakkan lemon glaze tapi saya gantikan dengan creame cheese frosting dan letakkan sedikit chocolate putih. Anak-anak pasti suka dan pertama  kalai yang mereka lakukkan ialah korek chocolate putih tu.
