Lemons: Of course, it’s not a lemon cake without lemons. But ultimately, the zesty lemon flavour elevates the entire cake. With both fresh juice and zest, your taste buds are sure to be in heaven with every bite.
Poppy Seeds: You might think, why not skip the poppy seeds? Well, these tiny seeds add such a delicious texture and underlying flavour, as well as an aesthetically pleasing slice.
Buttermilk: Most cake recipes don’t use buttermilk, so why this one? Adding a small amount of buttermilk brings more moisture to the loaf as well as enhancing the lemon flavour.
Sugar, butter, flour, baking powder: The foundation for any fluffy and tasty cake. We’re using self-raising flour and baking powder to ensure a light texture.
