Poppy Seed Cake with Lemon Glaze by Lisa Smith

Baking with Lisa Smith

Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups white sugar

4 eggs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup vegetable oil

13 oz evaporated milk

1/4 cup poppy seeds

1 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar

3 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions:

Whisk together confectioner’s sugar and lemon juice in small bowl (or cup) until nice and smooth.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and make sure to butter or grease your loaf pan.

In a large bowl mix together your flour, baking soda, salt and sugar. Once well combined, add eggs, vanilla, oil and milk. Again make sure to mix well! Then fold in the poppy seeds – no over mixing. 

Bake your poppy seed cake, until the toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean!

Take your loafs out of the oven, and drizzle your lemon glaze on top, while it’s still warm.

Enjoy!
